1795 Terrantez "common stock" MWA/MWC

[Peter Reutter]

Since I heard that we have an expert guest in the forums this week, I would like to post a rather exotic question to Dominic. I do understand that the knowledge about this specific wine might be minimal, but since I believe that I own a bottle this is a rare chance that is not to be missed

The question is about the origin and the whereabouts of the so-called "common stock" Terrantez 1795 of the MWA/MWC. In Cossart's book the wine is easy to see on a photograph of bottles from the "common stock" of the amalgamated companies. I have seen at least three bottles with identical stencils and was able to get my hands on one bottle. Due to a leaking cork I had to recork it and took a sample. From my (limited) experience I can say, that this 1795 T is definetely in the same league as the other 1795 T wines. So of course I am interested to know how and when this wine "entered" the MWA/MWC and where it came from. Also: how many bottles are there left, if any?

Any answers, any information are highly appreciated, thanks!

Peter,
I'm not sure Dominic Symington is posting here. You might want to repost in the Guest Corner forum.

Hoping you make it to San Francisco in March!
