Still saving old TNs typed on my mobile phone:
8 November 2014
Foucault Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg 1996
Garnet with a minor orange rim. Another extremely complex, deep and minerally bottle. Meaty-smoky, complex tobacco, graphite and minerals. Still tannic, extremely long finish. Drier and fractionally more evolved than the best of the best bottles (as one would expect, the cases I bought early - on subscription/at release - are best). But still another awesome bottle. dp 96
Fonseca-Guimaraens Vintage Port 1987
Surprisingly youthful! Opaque purple-ruby almost to the rim. Much sweeter and rounder than expected, quite lovely. Harmonious, nice body and length. dp 91-?
Greetings from Switzerland, David.
