Beautiful label although 15% price increase in a week (!), I know people on the forum have argued that the advertising for specific market has always been around. Have no problem with the Chinese buying it, but much of the price-spiral, the fact of drinking labels and just obsessively ‘milking the market’ just goes against almost everything I love about wine/viticulture…
I think François Mauss framed it nicely in this tasting [popcorn.gif]

A Chinese artist, huh? I guess they know who is going to be buying their wine.

I objected to the gauche aesthetic of the Lafite, but this seems tasteful by contrast and I rather like it.

I think they should have gone with Pobega’s version.

That rocks. Nice job, Mike
