Date: 7pm, Thursday 5th March 2009
Price: £150.00

The five first growths of Bordeaux's left bank are widely held to be the benchmark by which all other red wines in the world are judged, but it is rare that we get to benchmark them against each other - especially from a vintage that is drinking well right now. In order to develop our understanding (ahem...) the Roberson team have decided to pit the famous five against each other from the wonderful 1985 vintage (Michael Broadbent’s favourite of the decade), with all the second wines from the equally superb 1995 vintage. A night that is not to be missed! We will be tasting: 1985: Haut-Brion, Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton-Rothschild 1995: Bahans Haut-Brion, Carruades de Lafite, Forts de Latour, Pavillon Rouge 1994: Petit Mouton (we couldn't track down a ‘95!)
