Bordeaux 2009 Futures Pricing

Some first growths have just come out with their opening tranche futures pricing.
For example Lafite rolls in at 755Euros and Latour, not to be one upped, at 823Euros. No these are not case prices my friends, this is per bottle delivered to you in 2 years, and perhaps meant to be consumed a decade later.

Ausone came out at 1000Euros (per bottle) in 2005, so its not a record, but it still smacks me as silly.

So would one of my wine loving friends please buy a few extra bottles of the above and call me over when the time is right for a tasting? You know who you are. And if you have a pimple on your ass that needs to be popped, by all means let me know.

Sweet Spot for Bordeaux 2008

With 2009 Bordeaux having been reviewed to great fanfare, yet not officially scored by the 'umpire' (you know who), now is the time to rehash the 2008s which came out reasonably priced, or as some would say underpriced. Likely the high cost of 2009s will make the well scored 2008s look like a bargain, and drive up demand and thus price. So now is the time to buy your 2008s, still officially as futures since the wines wont be available yet.
