[Leica] Fwd: IMG: Chateau 61 Revisited

[Douglas Barry]

Jayanand,
It mirrors myself - very disheveled and decrepit. Whiskey, even though I 
love it, is dead once it goes into bottle, but good wine continually 
evolves. I know I should have drunk the Coutet more or less as soon as I 
got it, but the level held, especially in the older house. However, 
since I moved here, the storage temperature has been a bit more 
problematic and far less controllable, and the level dropped 
considerably over the past year.  My other more recent Sauternes are 
holding up though.
