1970 CAP DE MOURLIN 1970

Information on the vintage 1970 red Bordeaux:
A highly important vintage in many ways: its fine quality and its timing provided a jump start to the wine boom which was already hotting up during the dreary 1967, 1968 and 1969 vintages. Unusually all the major grape varieties ripened fully around the same time. In theory splendid, but with such a big crop it was tricky to get all the grapes fermented concurrently and "housed".
