05 Lafite for $29.99?!?!?!

Hahaha. Obviously a misleading photo. Nonetheless, the article talks about prices dropping 20-40% across the board.

Yeah, Lafite was $750 today at Costco. But they did have a three liter of '96 Montrose for the same coin.

Yikes. I picked up 750’s of the 96 for $75 recently.

Yeah Cris, it seemed pretty pricy indeed. Odd that Costco even has a large format of aged BDX.

price tag is for the bottle on the row above

I know Alan. Like I said, deceptive picture.

Thanks for the clarification Alan, I heard Victor went in and wiped em out anyways.

so they were half bottles?

Lies lies lies…05 is a “good” vintage. Mr. Poor-Noodle-Slinger only buys “under the radar” vintages.

Oops, missed that - I admit, I read the headline, saw the picture, and posted. You mean I actually have to read sometimes?
