Bordeaux: 1929 wine from Bordeaux wine is often compared to its closest vintage, 1928. But the two styles of Bordeaux wine could not be more different. 1928 Bordeaux is a brutally tannic vintage. 1929 Bordeaux is a completely different story.

Hine Grand Champagne Cognac, 1929

believed imported to England in cask by Joseph Travers & Co
