In The Bung Hole, on Wednesday 6th June 2012, we said farewell to everybody’s favourite French-Armenian waitress.

Deep red, dark in colour and opaque. Beautiful fresh nose full of blackcurrants. Hollow entry, initially amazingly light but then hidden fruit starts to appear and develops well to give a really good mouthfull of fruit. Delightful afteraste dominated by theblackcurrants and with a generous length. Very closed initially on the palate. One to tuck away for a few years as this is a little closed. 84/100. 11½ hour decant.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Cr91, brought by DRT on behalf of AS, and decanted at 8am. Red-purple, 90% opaque. Nose had leather and plum. Mid-weight, nicely balanced, plums, sweetness, heat late. Not monstrously big, but in five years will be wonderful drinking.
