Italian: Only a small crop of 1972 wine was produced and the wines are now very rare. The growing season was held back by inclement weather in the main Italian wine regions of Piedmont and Tuscany. Tuscany produced a small crop of Brunello and Chianti. These are generally characterised as having good colour, high acidity and some dryness. The best of the vintage originates from the more southerly regions.
Bordeaux: Bordeaux 1972 wines are generally characterised by having good colour, with dryness and high acidity. However, the style was for early drinking and very few examples exist today. The growing season was difficult with the grape development held back by inclement weather. This did not allow the grapes to fully ripen by harvest. Sweet wines from Sauternes and Barsac are very good.
Port: A good vintage that was not declared. Some vintage port and single quintas were produced. Port wines from 1972 are now fully mature but well stored examples will last for many years more.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE BOTTLE, IT WILL NOT FIT INTO THE (SINGLE BOTTLE) DELUXE GIFT BOX WITH ACCESSORIES**
Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed, long lived and richly flavoured wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavours of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

Margaux 2eme Cru Classe
An open-knit, diffuse fragrant wine, the 1972 Lascombe is low in acidity, and borders on being overripe, but it still offers an expansive, flavourful mouthful of herb-tinged, berry fruit combined with scents of coffee, earth, and vanilla.

St Julien 2me Cru Classe
The colour is a gentle blend of light red and orange, and clear. The nose was light, burnt wood, toast and some fruit. The palate is lovely with a smooth mouthfeel, wood and cake - both giving it a distinct sweetness. The fruit is still there but giving way to acidity. Pleasant.

Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe
Wassily Kandinsky label
Reviews: Stands up well for a 72. This had a deep red-brown color that was consistent throughout. It showed an intense nose of fresh asparagus which carried into the palate where it was joined by notes of celery. This exceeded expectations and was surprising drinkable for the amount of greenness it had. The half-bottle leftover the next day lost a lot of the asparagus/celery notes, having them replaced by some bell pepper and hints of cabernet fruit (cassis). One for the collectors.

Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port
A very rare example from the 1972 vintage. The 1972 Quinta de Vargellas has matured into a tawny style port. On the nose very strong berry fruits. On the palate hints of the Vargellas fire. Long aftertaste. Excellent
