Chateau Bernadotte
Cru Bourgeois 1999
Selfridges £16.99
Alright then, I admit it - I was browsing in the wine department of an upmarket designer store when I fell for a bottle of wine that sits outside the self imposed £10 limit of this wine blog.
However, when I found that I was face to face with a relatively bargain-priced wine from the highly revered Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande I felt I had to open my wallet and make the investment. As you know, this one man wine tasting team at Chateau Blogspot is on fairly restricted means, which is why a bottle that gives £3.01 change from a £20 note commands significant deliberation.
But with the added reassurance (?) of 86 points from Robert Parker, I'm just curious to see how fine this 11 year old wine can be. Hold on to your wine corks until March and I'll let you know.
