This bottle was poured by the Lord Bruce at Bellamy’s, a discrete old-fashioned bistro hidden in a mews behind Bond Street. Its clientele seemed to be other members of aristocracy or member of the House of Lords. We had gone to feast on new season’s grouse and our host nonchalantly served this wine, inviting us to guess postcode and age. Hmm... It had a few years on the clock. It was old lace, fine old lace. It was clearly not from a growing season of repute, but how could you ignore the ethereal balance, its utter lack of pretentious or its sheer drinkability? Every sip enticed the next. The maître d’ brought forth the bottle. Petrus! Petrus? That would explain the quality. But 1973? A stinker of a vintage!
