Just collected some wine from an auction held yesterday. I've bought some very old Barsac with which I was forced to buy some very old Bergerac Sec, which will go in the bin, and some Graves, which won't.
Also a batch of ancient Mosel, mostly in halves. 34 bottles for £80, but the halves are too old to be of any entertaining use. Light, aged Riesling with a hint of apple juice and some nuttiness. There's also 6 bottles of 89 Spatlese, which should be lovely
Mel, You've enjoyed one of these every 3 months * ! - Will you let the last one go to 20 ? How was the '62 ? Perhaps you should have shipped it on to Richard
He goes for the pre-historic.Enjoy - Beautiful wine they say.
I've drunk the Climens at 12 years near or month or so, following my 50th, it was a present, but of course, my sister who bought it convinced others in the garden at the time, that I ought to open it there and then; To which, I had no logical, or coherent defense.
According to David Peppercorn Climens & Coutet are quite similar.
