pre-1970 Bordeaux
Don't have the URL in front of me, but Berry Bros. & Rudd (English wine
merchants) have a historical chart that goes back to at least 19th century. Google for their website. Dale Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply |

pre-1970 Bordeaux
Thanks Jim.
Am I the only one who is shocked that the 1847 Sauternes, despite their 10 out of 10 rating, are showing their age? Dale Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply |

I second Broadbent (e.g. 1980 _Great Vintage Wine Book,_ ISBN 0394510992, he was the Christie's wine auctioneer beginning 1966 and may have about as much experience on this subject as anyone living) and also of course Tom Stevenson's broad book the _New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia,_ I posted recommendation on amazon.com some years ago. (In the off-chance that by "ratings" you happen to mean specifically a 0-100 point scale with statistically only 17 of its possible 101 values in significant use, be advised that this specific type of scale is a relatively recent development and was years away from introduction when most of the people who have most of the experience tasting pre-1970 Bordeaux were getting it.)
