Hello; Well, title says it, really. We had two 1975 in July (Cos d´Estournel and Leoville Poyferre), of which the latter drank fairly well but the first was closed, with little zip and at that age without much hope of opening up. I followed the discussion concerning Lafite, were the 1975 figured prominently, and got the distinct impression that 1975 was not a terrific vintage.
Reason is, there is a lot of 2nd growths up for auction, and I am slightly interested.
Cheers
Nils Gustaf

MArk, Dale, Cwdjrx_ (how DO you pronounce that? never mind, most likely, you don´t...) Thank you all for help and insights. Bottom line appears to be a slightly, if not highly, iffy vintage, where the long cellar time makes buying a bad gamble.
I guess I´ll save my money and pass this one over ... but I´m still on for a Cot de Layon from 1975 (two bottles at EU 30) ... the last sucker is not born yet ...
Cheers
