Also, ’05 Suduiraut as well as ’62 Quinta Noval Nacional. Tasted vintages of Las Cases including ’89, ’85, ’82, ’75, and ‘66 (all out of magnum except for ’66).Shortly I will report full details of the lunch, dinner and a complete list of about 80+ tasting notes.

UGC tasting at Grave and Sauternes as well as a Private tasting with Christian Mouiex (owner of Petrus) and Pierre Lurton (Director of Cheval Blanc and d’Yquem). Should be very interesting.
