Decanter (Panos) on 2009 Bordeaux with ITB Quotes

Ok, so… first of all I never talk about ex-chateau since I’m not in the trade to know exactly that price. I look at the cheapest price you can find these wines for in Europe (usually first tranche with a provider who takes a small cut) and that would be around 140 + tax for 2008. Which is still almost double of 2002. The price I can find them right now is exactly double of 2002 (i.e. 160 + tax vs 80 + tax for 2002), and 50% more than 2001.
