Day 8 – Helmsdale Bay
2015 Au Bon Climat Isabelle Pinot Noir. I’ve always maintained what I felt to be a healthy disrespect towards Pinot Noir.

Day 6 – Latheronwheel
2011 Ar Guentota Malbec. I’ve only discovered decent Argentinian Malbec in the last four or five years. I bought some 2017 of this en primeur which arrived earlier this year.

Day 4 – Blackness
Charles Joguet Clos de la Dioterie 1995. Another ancient bottle fished from under the cobwebs in the ancestral cellars. Another that tastes wonderful, as if it has lots of life yet to come.

Day 1 – Nybster
Ernest Burn 2007 Muscat Vendages Tardives. I’ve loved Ernest Burn wines ever since first discovering them thirty years ago. Francis Burn is a winemaker of genius and manages to put an added richness in every bottle.
