An excellent idea and an excellent tasting. I found all wines to be showing rather well. I was high enamoured by the W66 and T63. It felt like the 1966's were beginning to open.

Thank you to the organiser.

I loved the evening - thank you for organising us Martin! It reminded me just how good are the wines from the 1960s.

Seems like the 66s stole the show. And F63.
