Shouldn't that be first equal? or do we have half-years involved...?
56 ?

Have I messed up the counting?
There is a: 1927 / 90 years old (and just realised I should have guessed 1862 - the same whether vintage or months old)
That was then: Nearest so far. :wink:

(previous question withdrawn, my error with order of guesses)
Think we have: >57, and 57 is closer than 90, so <=78

Perhaps 69?

Correct and it is your turn flash_uk.

I decided that I needed a bottle older than myself in the cellar, so I bought a Ch. Mosse Rivesaltes 1946. What it tastes like, I do not know, but reviews are favourable.

More importantly... was it a good read?

I enjoyed it a lot! Not a serious read - a mix of some likely very real stories of wine trading, mixed with the story of a chancer. Will bring my copy to the next tasting and you can enjoy!

Last week I was singing a track from a "classic" album which mentioned a well-known person. Shortly afterwards the same well-known person appeared in the news. What song was I singing?
