TNR: Krug Grand Cuvée NV: 164th Edition-2008 Base

I don’t think $120 is realistic.

I’d be in for 6 as well…

I paid a tiny bit over $120 in bond in the UK…

Yes, the best prices are in the UK, as far as I can tell. But we’d still have to get them to the US. Even with volume consolidated shipping, that’s a not-negligible amount. Any quantity discount would have to be considerable to come in at $120 delivered.

Sarah, you may struggle to get much of a discount too as it’s selling very well.

I think we’re all aware of that, though it can’t hurt to inquire. And thus one of the reasons why what you can buy it for in London is not all that relevant to where our pricing would be in the US. Unless you were just trying to make everyone else jealous. :wink:

Well of course it’s relevant. It just depends what shipping costs are. I have no idea.

Since UK purchasers have to pay VAT and duty to drink it it shouldn’t make you very jealous!

:slight_smile:

$120 isn’t happening unless there is a big currency shift. Especially if a buyer has to pay for shipping from wherever the consolidated shipment is delivered.

so, Ray, what’s a reasonable number delivered to US?

it’s about ±$135 landed to NJ, the question is how much you can get from one source.

If you buy a pallet and your exchange rate is sharp, you should be able to get it to the East Coast for a bit under $130. If necessary, buy from a couple of UK sources and consolidate the shipment there. But then, there is additional shipping/fulfillment to the final destination if the UK shipment doesn’t come to your warehouse.

Not sure about shipping directly to the West Coast as I have never done that. That said, for West Coast people, Patrick’s price seems very good.

Can’t speak for others, but I’d still be interested for at least 6 at around the $130 mark on the East Coast.

While this thread has evolved into an ordering form, it started as a TNR. Brad gave the only report I’d seen until yesterday. Elvis1969 listed a TN on Cellartracker in Swedish: “En helt galen syrabomb just nu som behöver många år i källaren. Potentialen är enorm men just nu är den knappt njutbar överhuvudtaget.” Google translate to English: “A very crazy syrabomb right now that needs many years in the basement. The potential is huge but at the moment it is barely enjoyable at all.”
The mean CT score for the Edition 164eme is now 87, with an n of one. I wonder what’s a syrabomb.

I would be in for 6 syrahbombs at $130. flirtysmile

Did they raise the price for the 08 base? You can find who knows what base out there right now for 120.

Google Translate tells me that “syra” translates to acid.

I am in for a case.
If a berserker merchant can source it at an attractive price I am in.

I’d be in for a case if we can secure <$140/bottle.

6 here if someone is accumulating orders.
