Information on the vintage 1926 red Bordeaux:
Great vintage. Long, hot summer, small crop of high quality wines.

This may not be such a gloriously garlanded bordeaux vintage as the 1928 and 1929 but this wine was extremely rich and still very lively. Excellent deep crimson with a pale rim. Hint of cough medicine and coffee with great sweetness giving an overall impression of an iron hand in a velvet glove. Very slightly dry on the edges but still has much more fruit than the Montroses from the 1940s. Still masses of life and vigour here.
