Once a year Farr Vintners hosts a comprehensive blind tasting of a mature Bordeaux vintage. This is normally held 10 years after the vintage, but this year we decided to hold off tasting the 2005’s as, in our opinion, the top wines from this magnificent year are not quite ready for drinking. On the contrary, every wine that we have tried recently from 2007 has been drinking well so we decided that the time was ripe for a serious look at these wines, now that they are 8 years old.
Thin Lizzy wasn’t back in town, but last week the merry band of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux descended on Hong Kong for the last leg of their Asia tour to promote their 2012 vintage.
