An excellent book which is a must-have and should be read by anyone who enjoys tasting wine and attending wine tastings.
Many editions of this book exist so it is probably advisable to go for one of the later editions to get more up-to-date information.

Published in 1983, this book would eventually be superseded by a second edition in 1991 and ultimately by Broadbent’s classic, Vintage Wine in 2002.
The 2002 edition is the best of the series and is something no vintage wine lover should be without.

A (large) pocket-sized version of Broadbent’s classic “Vintage Wine”.
The pocket version has new tasting notes for recent vintages and also has many updates to the notes from the original book. The new book was published in 2007 and brings this excellent reference up to date.

This volume superseded the author’s similar earlier works under the title The Great Vintage Wine Book.
A fantastic big book with thousands of tasting notes on almost every vintage wine you can think of. The vintage port tasting notes on pages 449 to 494 are amongst the most well read and frequently visited pages in my collection of books.
You’ve just got to have one of these!
