Cockburn's Lacrima Christi 1974
Cockburn's Lacrima Christi 1974
Never heard of it before. What is it?
Someone's putting this up for sale (no asking price, free bidding). Obviously someone who doesn't know much either, cause the tittle of this post is all the information given. Googling doesn't reveal anything either.
I'm not thinking of buying, I'm just curious.

You clever sods might of already known this, but Lacrima Christi means the 'tears of christ'.
Dont really know how that helps, but interesting.
Lacrima Christi means 'tears of Christ,' and as legend has it the wines of this area of Vesuvius were so named because here, it is said, that Lucifer was cast out of heaven, causing Christ to weep.
You dont think there might be a connection with AHB's favourite tipple?

I was wondering whether it was some form of communion wine, but on examination of Google, I found this in an article on Malaga:
If the second word in the cursive script, which I can barely make out, is “Reserve†, I wonder if it is a foot-trodden Ruby?"Lágrima": Meaning literally “tear†, it designates wine that has been produced using must obtained without any mechanical treatment, that is, it flows spontaneously when the grapes are trod. These wines are aged for two years and may be called “Lacrimae Christi†.

Rubby,
What are the chances of you attending a off-line at some point?
If it is a possibility then it might be fun if you buy this bottle and bring it along so that we could taste it? I would be happy to split the cost provided it stays reasonable. I don't know anything about the site it is advertised on so have no idea what it would go for. Do you?

In this case the seller has set no price or minimum bid. It's up to the buyers to bid on the item.Derek T. wrote:Rubby,

The seller can take whatever he'll find reasonable or can even decide not to sell at all. It's not an auction site, so he doesn't have to sell.
It's a bit like the classifieds in the local newspaper; totally free of commitment.
I might throw in a bid, as long as the price doesn't go sky high.
The chances of me attending an off-line in the near future are nil. Sorry.

There is talk of an Off-line in the Netherlands in July or August - could you attend that?
Regardless of your answer I would still be interested in sharing the cost of this bottle and then waiting until we can meet at an off-line to taste it. Send me a PM if you want to talk dirty about money
