Information on the vintage 1978 red Bordeaux: Almost the mirror image of 1976. Appalling growing season. Complete disaster loomed. Then suddenly the weather improved with a September blessed with cloudless skies and unbroken ripening sunshine through to the start of the harvest. It was ....."the year of the miracle".
