"A unique and classical addition to wine literature."
Colin Parnell, Decanter
"Although by now the wine bookshelf is crowded, room must be made for Michael Broadbent's tome, which is without parallel."
Edmund Penning-Rowsell, Financial Times
"Even for Christie's comprehensively knowledgeable wine expert, this is an outstanding achievement; detailed, intelligible and helpful tasting notes on thousands of wines from scores of years."
Bernard Levin, The Sunday Times

All the tasting notes in the world,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Great Vintage Wine Book (Hardcover)
Tasting notes. That's what this is. One huge book filled from cover to cover with thousands of wine-tasting notes on wonderful old wines that most of us will never get to enjoy. If you really like reading about wine, though, you can spend hours browsing through this volume vicariously tasting with Broadbent. And if you're a collector, you'll find his observations indispensible

Delighted Customer.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Great Vintage Wine Book (Hardcover)
This tome of wine reviews by the venerable Michael Broadbent has always been a favorite, especially when I go through my cellar looking for a special bottle of older Bordeaux. So I was glad to find the book through Amazon and so inexpensive. I ordered a copy as a Christmas present for my brother-in-law. The ordered arrived in time and was in great shape; as good as the bookseller promised. I was very please with the condition of the book and the quick delivery time, and highly recommend the vendor.
