Damn =( Miss out on 83 Lafite for $99.

Sigh. Why do people purchase so quickly on premier cru. Just got the update on google reader… checking out… and sold out. Don’t people know it’s my birthyear wine!? I figure with the pace PC gets their pre arrival stuff, i’d get it right in time for my 30th bday!

$99? was that for a 187ml bottle??

Randy_Sloan · February 11, 2009, 10:38pm

That sucks, Charlie. But keep your eyes open… I wouldn’t be surprised if it appeared somewhere else too. It’s not like PC has access to the only wine out there.

Wow…nice price on that…sucks that you missed out.

Lafite Rothschild 1983 Lafite (HS - torn label) 750 ml $99.99 1 Bottles

=( I was surprised as well at the price, the reason i didn’t snatch it up in the first 10 seconds is i wanted to double check I wasn’t buying some random ass wine. Darn!

It is not that good a wine…trust me. If you drank it blind you would say it was not worth $99.

There…feel better now

I wasn’t going to buy it either way, but the high shoulder level on such a relatively young wine would have made me think twice. Am I the only one concerned by that?

CFu · February 12, 2009, 1:12am

i’ve had a mid shoulder level on a Mouton the same age and it was fine. Shrug.

Jack_Bulkin · February 12, 2009, 2:07am

Charlie don’t fret. The wine had already passed through my kidney.

Nice to hear. I’m always skeptical of low fills…but then I’m a passive cellar guy. Definitely not obsessive about conditions.

I have a bunch of this actually. I got a really good deal last year (I think) on some. Somewhere between $125-150 at the time. If you ever want one Charlie I am happy to relinquish one or more to you.
