Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[NoName]

Last night with steak dinner. Absolutely delicious.

Cork snapped when trying to open which made for a few challenges. Managed to get the other half out eventually without anything dropping in.

Steak and Sami Odi perfect match Little wine #15 is a beauty! Drink now (after a good long decant) or hold you can’t go wrong.

Crikey! These are museum specimens. How did the 78 HOG and 85 Bollie go down, Assassin?

Yes indeed! The fizz was mostly but not entirely gone but the wine itself was very interesting- brioche and dried stone fruits with a note of honey in the background. The HOG was beautifully mature - still some fruit with an olive tapenade background. No noticeable tannins at all. Really interesting to think where we were in the years those wines were made!
