1996 Cos d’Estournel
We had big expectations for this wine and it didn’t disappoint. It took some time to open up to the point that when first opened, we were worried it might be off. After a two hour decant it started to sing! Dark red in colour, it’s a very complex wine revealing notes of plum, cherry, blackberry, earth and tobacco. A lovely textured mouth feel with a very nice long finish. Still seems to have time but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

1981 Chateau Pétrus – Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Red colour fading to orange at the rim. An incredible nose that was an ethereal mix of red fruits, forest and a hint of spice. It entranced and made an indescribable impression. The palate started out light and thin but put on weight over the two hours it was in our glasses. At its worst it came across a bit hollow, at its best it showed wonderful elegance and complexity. There were many changes over the course of the night. Not the best wine we have drank but certainly very memorable and enjoyable.
Excellent
