Oh Larry, how envious am I :-)
I can count (on one hand) the number of great aged wines to which I have
been party (a 1982 Ch. Mouton-Rothschild being one).
A '47 CB would be my ultimate dream wine - and one which I am unlikely to
ever encounter.
Next year I am spending three months in the UK; France and Italy - and shall
be celebrating Ian Hoare's birthday with him (his wife Jacquie's is 3 days
before his) at La Souvigne in June.
Who knows - perhaps he has a forgotten bottle in his cellar???
Fat chance :-(
