Yes not sure but most 71s I have looked up didn't rate too well on points. But luckily that also reflects on price.

But anyway, it has some sentimental value and that's what really counts. I suggest buying a 71 first growth bordeaux for the date celebration and pick up an 82 Gruard Larose, which is priced quite well for an 82 bordeaux and could use the next 4 plus years to age abit. I bought a case a few years back and I thought it was very drinkable...especially after I drank all of it.
