1972 Planat & Co Grande Champagne Cognac burgundy wines

1972 Planat & Co Grande Champagne Cognac burgundy winesColour: Deep gold. Nose: Leathery and earthy which seems to be pretty textbook for Grande Champagne. Lots of waxes, balms, rancio, a little milk chocolate, vapour rub and a touch of natural tar liqueur. Feels rather dense on the nose, which I quite like. Mouth: A big bag of leaf mulch, sultanas, dates, pipe tobacco, rancio and sooty earth. Quite lemony and melony as well with more ripe mirabelle, dried raspberries and guava emerging in time. Finish:

The Arran Malt “ Founders Reserve” 1995 5 Year Old Single Malt

The resulting wine is bursting with fresh apple aromas and hints of tropical fruits

Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve

walnuts and apple travel sweets

Tamnavulin distillery was silent between 1995 and 2007 - this 12 year gap in production meant that in recent times they have produced very little in the way of official bottlings

500ml Bottle

Nose: rather dry

easygoing soft tannin and a round juiciness

Mouth (neat): Straightforward

and with such clichés of the Provençal lifestyle as pétanque

such arrangements were to be paid by West Germany for three years
