Some 20-30% price drops on 2019 Futures at the LCBO. With the dollar and 25% duty on French wine in the US, there seem to be some options along side a good year for Pauillac.
Anything stick out for you?

Nothing for me (LCBO or not). As I slouch towards 70, I'm not buying any new vintages.
Absolute minefield. Unless you are particularly well versed in each chateaux and their vintages and have tasted their wines young and found them to have aged in a certain way giving certain notes and qualities then it is porbably best to avoid any bordeaux under 5 or even 10 years old. I am yet to try a Bordeaux less than 8 years old that has been anything other than decidedly unimpressive.
If you have 10 years to wait and a good place to store it, Palmer at 399 is a 'relative steal' (considering the '18 on LCBO Futures tips in at $625)!
