Score 18/20 · Drink 1970-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2018

Two bottles from Valerie Smallwood's cellar served at Michael Broadbent's Cavendish Dinner at his gentlemen's club in London, Brooks's. The first smelt of gunpowder and tasted of dried fruit, but the second was sweet, round and glorious. This was a five-star wine from a five-star vintage in Broadbent's Vintage Wine . An extract from his tasting note made in 1989 – 'lean, spirited but elegant' – could also apply to him. (JR)
