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.

Tarlant trumped the other Growers. Voerzio showing a lot of bottle variation from last (same case). Scharzhofberger total π to close - impossible sherbetty freshness.

Have said it previously - 96 Palmer is as good as it gets. Enjoying a loooong peak. Giddy and dizzy ππ―
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.
