Oldest wine you¥ve ever bought Hello; The last day we spent in Nice last week, a courier rang the door and delivered my catches from the recent iDealWine auction. In a sturdy box was the Oldest wine I ever bought - a C de Layon from 1949 (we are the same age). I hope it is in drinking condition, although I have a back-up bottle. It may be - no doubt it has both acidity and sugar in plenty, and mayhap oak. WeŽll see on Nov 25th. It is not the most expensive bottle, that still remains the Moulin Tuchais 1959 I bought for the inheritance of old cousin Astrid (may she rest in peace, poor thing) This leads me to the question: what is the oldest wine YOU have ever bought? Not counting sherries frpm soleras started in 1830, I somehow think that is, if not cheating, at least playing with a gently stacked deck of cards ... So out with it. Tell me about that undrinkable bottle of Mouton-Cadet 1937, or the Beaujolais Noveau saved by your grandfather for a special occasion - or a 1947 Petru.
