We sipped on a birthday month French Wine & Cheese evening for our better half and friend's Mother...both May babies. We bought at Sotheby's ex-Chateau auction in a nine bottle vertical. Only way we ever would buy such a wine...perfect provenance! Far from the same experience as the 1961, but a pleasant sip, sufficient fruit, virtually no tannins, elegant finish. Not unhappy...

26 Old Bordeaux grand cru classe - vertical (1938-1990) and horizontal semi blind wine tasting dinner (Fredriksberg): The surprise of the evening. It was razor sharp. Garnet colour. Complex and beautifully developed, complex and in balance. Simply extraordinary and the best wine that evening - maybe because the bottle came directly from the Chateau after having been recorked.
