And my question:

Should I buy 2014 Chateau Ausone at $451?

[jckba]

I’ll answer your question with another question; why buy only 1 btl?

And that is an insane array of SKUs of 2014 Bdx but I thought you had way more 2014 Clerc?

[stefan]

That's $75 under the lowest retail price on WineSearcherPro. I'm guessing that it will be drinkable at age 20 and leaving its jailbait stage at age 30.

For only $300 more, you can buy the fabulous 1998 Ausone, which is already excellent and will probably improve for 20 years.

[DavidG]

I agree with stefan. The 1998 is more versatile but more expensive. I think you should get 1 bottle of the 1998 and at least 2 of the 2014.

Lol.... Yes, I DID have a lot more Clerc Milon.... Now I only have one sealed case left.
Same with the d'Armailhac.

I like your thinking!

[Nicklasss]

And what about 2014 VCC? I guess you need some.

[JimHow]

Ha, you guys know my cellar better than I do, Nikola.
I swear, after I produced this list, I said, wait, I thought I have one more 2014 VCC, where is it?
I literally went downstairs looking for it. Alas, it was not there....
