Information on the vintage 1947 red Bordeaux:
The second of the three great post-war vintages. An increasingly hot summer followed by harvesting in almost tropical conditions. The grapes had an exceptionally high sugar content but the heat caused serious fermentation problems resulting in quite a few wines suffering from high volatile acidity. On the whole, exceptionally rich almost voluptuous wines, though some living dangerously.
