I have a nice LLC vertical:
96, 2000, '03 and 96 will be ready in about 5 years. Don't commit infanticide with good BDX, it's a REAL crime.
This is why I've moved away from bordeaux. I don't want to have to guess when its closed or guess how many hours I'll have to decant it to get it to open. I know 94 isn't a great year but a wine of that quality should give you *something*
I've got some interesting bordeaux sitting in the cellar, 86 margaux, 20yr verticle of mouton, etc. I just burn thru so much wine, I can't spend all my allowence on french waiting 15 years to crack one.
