$1,375/bottle

Apparently I’ve been living under a rock so I caught up on my '15 Chateau Margaux reading and apparently the points have it. See you all in the back vintage pile.

It might have as much to do with this being Paul Pontallier’s last vintage vs just the points

Ah thank you for “pointing” that out. Not sure how I missed that.

… or the gold etched special commemorative black bottle

I think it has simply to do with the fact that it is a really great wine - and the essence of Ch.Margaux …
(the bottle however is ugly …)
