Super fun side-by-side. Testamatta brightness and vibrancy is alluring. Flacc almost felt classic (comparatively speaking).

Slightly bumpy road through the opening 5, but the final trio of the @MystereWineClub Bruno tasting were spectacular! I adore the vibrancy + poise Lionel achieved, but it couldn't reach the towering heights of traditional giants on the night. Release prices £65, £117, £56 🤯

Tarlant trumped the other Growers. Voerzio showing a lot of bottle variation from last (same case). Scharzhofberger total 👌 to close - impossible sherbetty freshness.

Centrepice of a brilliant luncheon w the legend @wineorack Have said it previously - 96 Palmer is as good as it gets. Enjoying a loooong peak. Giddy and dizzy 👌💯

Blessed to add this birth year Tondonia to my collection from the cellar of a late friend. Heartwarming that he originally sourced it from Ballatyne's (which is today @noblegrapeuk); likely at mid-90s release.

Everyone in UK/Europe who gripes about RyanAir should be grateful they're not flying w jetBlue. They truly dgaf 😂
