My 1982 Mouton Rothschild is only worth $1,500/bottle. 1945 was a
spectacular year for Bourdeaux wines, something I've never been able to
understand. How could or would that occur in the waning moments of WWII. The
French are making wine as per usual, and the allied forces are crossing the
Rhine into Germany.
