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.

Some incredible duels last night. Had us in full debate. - 09 Scharzhofberger Spatlese might be top 5 of 2024 - never tasted a Barolo quite like Accomasso - Beyche was in amazing hands in the 80's

For anyone curious about the new Zalto Balance glass. Real life shot of Universal, Bdx, Balance, Burg.

Only tasted a handful of Comando G bottles. Wasn't prepared for how incredible they were, or how humble and brilliant Dani and Fernando would be. Total trailblazers.

Drinking Angelus on a day it's caused such a stir. Spiritual juice. My fav right bank. But you need your head wobbled if you buy 23 EP.

One of the best dinners I've ever enjoyed in Cardiff. Line-up, food and service all on-point. 7 sub flights matched to courses. Team at @Asador44 were SO accommodating. Attentive service and extremely tolerable with 150 stems 😳😇. Thanks Owen, Adam, Charlotte and team 🙏
