A Century of Fives

We had this PWC dinner over the weekend, Initially the theme was to taste wines from vintages ending in 5 - that would be 2005, 1995, 1985 and maybe 1975. If one was to push the boat out, I can always try and locate that Warre 1955 port I had already blogged about here. In the end, due to the number of participants and from a rather tight budget, we ended up with a champagne, a white Graves and two clarets from 2005 and two clarets and one RP100 Monbazillac from 1995. The surprise came in that the total age of that selection actually came up to 100 years! Of these, I mentioned the Champagne ( in a blog about the Champagne House) before and actually blogged about the dessert wine - Chateau Tirecule la Graviere Cuvee Madame 1995. Going through the rest will make this entry inordinately long, so I will cover them later.
