Even though its price has risen as more people have discovered it, and it's not the great bargain it used to be, it's still worth buying. I used to go to Bordeaux every year, but this year I can't. As you may have guessed I'm fond of wine... Sadly, the new house is too insulated compared to the old one - from the wine storage viewpoint only! - and it looks like I'll have to get a fridge thingy to store what I have. I recently noticed the level in my '61 Ch. Coutet has dropped alarmingly, so I'll have to drink that up v soon.
