Reds - mightn't get them all done, in a bit of a rush:
Chalon Pinot Noir 98 - acidity sticking out, fruit a bit dead, but just about ok
Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru 87 - a bit hard as well but decent fruit and nice
Faiveley Clos de Beze 87 - nice nose, fruit still there, acidic as well but nice (I think I ended up drinking this later)
Drouhin Clos des Mouches 85 - sweaty
Mas de Daumas Gassac 98 - expressive, farmyardy, delicious (I did drink some of this later)
Domaine Trevaillon 88 - dirty nose, smoky, vegetal palate - long & smooth
Chateau Vannieres Bandol 93 - nice nose, still tannic, fruit dying a bit
Domaine de la Mordoree Lirac 99 - tannin and pepper and not much else
Produttori de Barbaresco 96 - tannin and acid, little fruit (others liked this)
Selvapiana Bucerchiale 94 - full bodied, very smooth, lots of fruit, nice balance
Arzuaga Reserva 95 - oaky, but nice fruit, full bodied and rich, v good
Condada da Haza 95 - lovely mature fruit, very smooth, I like
Pesquera REserva 94 - smooth, smoky & suave
Pesquera Gran Reserva - v tannic, good fruit, needs food
Ch du Cayron Cahors 95 - hard and nasty
Clos du Gamot 96 - rancid
Leeuwin Art Series Cab Sauv 95 - lovely cedar & tobacco, classic WEst Oz, very smooth
Tahbilk cabernet 92 - a bit tired and emotional
Manso de Valasco 89 - delicious
Beaucastel 81 - a bit shitty but hanging in there
Prieure Lichine 83 - very nice, mature
D-Armailhac 45 - hovering, delicate, floating, ghostly (but nice)
That's it!

Wow, sounds like a great tasting! With a very interesting mix of wines...
Would love to get my mits on some of those. I've had a few 96 Prodituri De Barbarescos in the past and all have been highly acidic and not much fun, perhaps one to revisit in another 10 years?
Hi Will, as I said some people liked it, but I didn't and, in my experience, if the fruit is gone, it ain't coming back!
It was a great night though - tasting was followed by lovely dinner and lots of craic! These are the nights we need...
