Can y'all explain the specifics of vintage dating? For example, does a vintage date reflect the year in which the grapes were picked or the wine bottled? Or is it the release date? Does the answer depend on whether the wines are made in northern vs. southern hemisphere countries?
I was intrigued to see on wine-searcher.com listings for 2004 Lafite and Petrus. See links below. I'm wondering whether these are typographical errors.
