A Sealed Bottle of 1923 Chateau LaTour Du Mons Margaux (wine, glass, buy)

Does anybody know anything about this bottle of wine? How much it would be worth? Where I could get it appraised? Anything?

[cynwldkat]

I looked it up online and there are some wine appraisers up there. Even though they may not be located near where you live I'm sure you could give them a call.

Well, this is not the premiere grand cru classe Chateau Latour, which could be worth thousands if properly stored. It is from a bottler who had problems in the seventies, and is now considered a decent, if not great wine.

Buying wine from strangers and not knowing how it was stored is a risky business.

Still, best of luck in your efforts to establish a value.

Your best bet might be to contact a sommelier or wine steward. They can tell you all sorts of information about growing conditions in France in 1923. Should be able to give you a value and answer your questions.

It's an awful wine, just send it to me and I can dispose of it properly.

Shame you'd have to be burdened with it any longer.

[Woof Woof Woof!]

I'll have a glass of that!
