Recently, B. Baudry was telling me about how a '47 Chinon drunk a couple of years ago was sublime.<BR/><BR/>This dovetails with Arnaud's mother's story: they drank (also) '47 Chinon at their wedding in the mid-70s.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467341630668960380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35133966.post-8616455186196894822008-09-26T21:26:00.000+02:002008-09-26T21:26:00.000+02:00Loire-->leek juice.Harsh, harsh.Also, I've ...Loire-->leek juice.<BR/><BR/>Harsh, harsh.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've never had leek juice.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416883255959138934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35133966.post-52473730952003462782008-09-26T08:03:00.000+02:002008-09-26T08:03:00.000+02:00Gavin, but they're red?Joe, reminds me of a 19...Gavin, but they're red?<BR/><BR/>Joe, reminds me of a 1929 St-Emilion that tasted like a Burgundy.
