| MARKET NOTE |
If you have pre-1987 vintages of Citran in you cellar, throw them away (or drink them with caution immediately). Since then, and particularly since 1996, Citran is yet another outstanding example that Bordeaux is NOT expensive.
It is true that 40000 cs is alot of wine to distribute. |
