Those vintages sound very good to taste, and trip off the tongue rather well, but my knowledge is zilch on this subject, so I will take the word of an expert such as yourself for it! Just a question - the one name I recognize is Chateau Latour, and I know it is very expensive (never tasted it to the best of my knowledge), so how do you buy this level of wine? Does your club buy it early and lay it down, or what? Cheers Jayanand On Sun, Feb 19, 2017 at 7:00 PM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > Jayanand, Philippe.
