A SUBSTANTIAL PARCEL OF CANTENAC-BROWN 1978
Now lying London, S.E.1
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
The wine has been lying, since the change of ownership, in the private cellar of the neightbouring eighteenth century château of the present vendor. Where necessary the bottles have been re-capsuled and re-labelled
1978 is referred to as "the year of the miracle": the superb cloudless sunny and warm September maturing the grapes following a potentially disasterous growing season
Red Bordeaux of the 1978 vintage are now at their peak and are drinking well
