As this magnificent vintage eases ever-closer towards its drinking window, its time to take the temperature of the waters and see whats what in the land of Gaullioses and dramatic eye rolls whenever a tourists asks for directions...
We will mask all six vintages so we can firstly try to identify left fro right bank. We will vote and see how close we are - with the basic assumption that I will get most of it wrong as per usual.
Once unmasked we will "work through this mid range price point and see what we like the most. I will provide all the usual data on blends, dates of harvest and which winemaker is sleeping with which, as all these attributes are vital to a deeper understanding of the wines and their repsective places in the sun...
We will start it early as its a Saturday for those who want to move onto dinner afterwards.
