If anyone has info on where I can obtain a bottle of '66 LB that is in good condition here in the USA please let me know. WS Pro shows availability in Europe only. My email is justinhome at msn dot com. TIA for any help.

IW, be aware that, even with good provenance, this wine might be tiring. I loved the 1966 Bordeaux vintage, but the only ones I'm still holding are the Lafite and Latour. The Latour will be fine for another decade.

Board-O,

Thanks for your thoughts. I read a recent write up about the wine and it was quite glowing. Finding the same experience for myself I know will be difficult but worthy if the price is right.

I guess that means hope is long gone for my '55 Leoville Las Cases...

Not necessarily, Lentini. 1955 was generally a better and longer-lived vintage than 1966, imo. That said, I've never had a Las Cases that I thought was improving more than 30 years after vintage date, though they hold well for quite a while. I look forward to your notes on it.

Tuesday night is 40 years of Leoville Las Cases... '55, '75, '95. (Grouped for no other reason than they're 20 years apart.) I'll post a note.

Speaking of LLC I am also looking at the '66 LLC because of the price and overall condition of the bottle from a private cellar. I look forward to your note on the '55.

Do you have interest in Chateau Leoville Poyferre 1966 ?!

Had the Latour last year and it was spectacular. Very impressed with the '66 and I can see why you are seeking a wine from '66.

Still holding my Mouton, Lafite, and Cheval-Blanc, I'll pop one for Christmas I bet.

Just checked CT and realized I have a '66 Chateau de Malleret, no idea if this was any good, anyone?
