Neal Martin’s Bordeaux Olympics (Restaurant La Trouvaille, London): A deep very very old almost mahogany ruby. I can’t really find much going on on the nose. This just seems very old indeed on the palate. Quite simple and a bit over the hill. Though I should add that my glass was a bit sediment-y, which might have coloured my views. But it just doesn’t seem to have the redeeming features of a really great old wine that would lift it from being merely an old curiosity.
