This vintage described by Robert Parker as "once in a generation", has prompted the Committee to buy Bordeaux en primeur. Hopefully we'll all live long enough to enjoy it. It's truly an expression of faith in the longevity of the society. It'll be at its prime in 2025. I'm aiming to be there. How about you? Once Upon a Time (1899, 1929, 1949, 1959, 2009)
