The curse of a seven year
as its ****ing down with rain here in the UK and my golf is cancelled, I
kept thinking of what a bad year this may well be for N europe vintages, and it brought to mind the 77 claret vintage. So I went to Broadbent and looked at his Bordeaux vintage assessments back to 1877. And then as it is still raining look at the 5's and 6's 1877 ** 1876 * 1875 ***** 1887 *** 1886 *** 1885 no star 1897 * 1896 **** 1895 ***** 1907 ** 1906 *** 1905 *** 1917 ** 1916 ** 1915 no star 1927 * 1926 ***** 1925 no star 1937 ** 1936 * 1935 * 1947 ***** 1946 no star 1945 ***** 1957 * 1956 no star 1955 **** 1967* 1966 **** 1965 no star 1977 no star 1976 *** 1975 *** 1987 ** 1986 **** 1985 ***** 1997 ** 1996 *** 1995 *** 2007 say * 2006 *** 2005 ***** total 25* 36* 39* and no, I am not doing the rest, its brightening up and the battered garden beckons.
