Thinking about buying a case of 05 Pavie

You paying about $300 per bottle? GO FOR IT!!!!

Did that help?!?!?!

Advance write ups hint that it could be one of the great ones. Do you have 30 years to wait, or would you flip them at a profit if it scores 99-100?

I can wait.

Love to have the wine, but the old childhood economics lessons are tough to break and spend that much.

They're already priced at 99-100 points, so where's the profit?

what if it receives the venerable 100+?

I would if I were you.

Buy 2000 if you want to spent alot AND have a guaranteed "100 point wine".

Now you are encouraging to spend even MORE money?

For less than half the price I would buy a case of the 04 Pavie. With ratings like this... RP95, ST93 and 96W&S I find it very hard to believe that the 05 will be worth over twice the cost.

For that price you can buy some very nice mature 1998 right bank wines, probably for half that price in fact.

Please.

Don't do it.

Did that help?

Do you want it? Can you afford it? If the answers are yes, then buy it.

Yeah, I know. Pathetic, aren't I? Just trying to put some space between when the thought hits my weak-willed noggin, and when I make the decision.

Heck I just found (and bought it) 99 Pavie on a retailers shelf just an hour ago for $129....that has to make you think twice

I bought '01 Pavie for $99 and you can still get it for $125, which is still a pretty decent deal.

Why not... if you want a 100 pt Pavie, this is a lock...

Buy the 2000 or 2001.

Don't buy the case. I agree with "elmo" and "Old_Winyards", stick to the 2000 vintage...

Think of all the poor children in the world. All the poor, blind, amputee children who have no drinking water, no home and no '05 Pavie. How do they manage?

Well, they probably don't have any decent stems to pour the Pavie into, so it would be a waste, wouldn't it?

Only a retard would encourage the out of control pricing strategies of the Bordelais. Does that help?

Wrong...they use the stemless Riedel O's.

Is that where they send all the useless stuff to?

I prefer "<fill in the bank> challenged", if you please. It gives me so many more ways to have a ready excuse when I act like a retard.

Some day you'll hate yourself - for not buying 3 cases !

Only if were thinking of buying for investment maybe.

Have you considered buying six of the '00 and six of the '05 so the enjoyment and appreciation of these wines can begin sooner than if you only bought the '05?

Dammit. You want it. Buy it already.
