whats it worth?

Mar 14, 2009 2 Replies

Hi Been given a bottle of Chateau Moulin Pay Labrie 1967, not being a wine drinker, I thought it might be worth something as one or two people said it might be, so here I am looking for someone who might know, is that you?



Thanks for any help

It really doesn't have any real value, though it might be drinkable. I'm assuming it's Moulin Pey-Labrie, the Fronsac. '67 was a good not great year, but most wines (even those that typically age well) are past it. The Latour was quite nice last year, but that is one of the longest lived Pauillacs (and Pauillacs is one of the top appellations for aging). Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac typically produce wine that is best drunk young, 15 years would normally be around outside, assuming good storage. IF bottle has good fill, no sign of seepage, etc you might get $20-25 on winecommune from someone looking for a birthyear wine. But it would scarcely be worth the trouble (you'd have to pay commission out of that). That said, it won't hurt you, and it might be drinkable. Just pop it as an experiences, or if you truly don't drink wine at all, give it to someone who does.
