1928 *****
The first of the famous twin vintages; both great but of totally contrasting weight and style. What produced these massively tannic wines? Summer heat thickened the skins from which were extracted deep colouring matter and tannin. The exceptionally good ripening conditions were responsible for the richness and sunstantial alcoholic content. This is the longest lived vintage of the decade. MB, Vintage Wine
