Lovely wine with a great taste. Old vines performing wonderfully. I enjoyed this red especially the hint of coffee. You need to let it breathe a bit.

This was a very good red with great flavour. Great oak tones and a lovely colour. Recommended. Apparently this was a great vintage year for Bordeaux.

We had this wine in Prague and found a couple of bottles to take home. This wine was quite good though it was a bit strange as it had very strong floral overtones.

This wine we had for with our Valentine’s day menu. It was superb. A wine this old needs to be decanted and left to breath, but afterwards it is an experience. The bouquet was amazing and full, whilst the flavours were subtle (hints of leathery smokiness). If you can find it have some!

First things first, I’m note really a Champagne drinker. That being said, this is an excellent bottle and it was a pleasure to drink. I’m not sure how easy it is to get outside of France, but if you like dry champagne this is a good choice. What really impressed me with the bottle was how plentiful and tiny the bubbles were.
