Stash has been stored safely in cellar, surrounded by security of poison-tipped darts and jungle trip wires.
Inventory of Lafite now totals 34 bottles. I will drink well when I am 116 years old....

The New Hampshire folks ended up being very nice, I guess I've developed a bit of a reputation there.
They extended the 20% sale for me.

Congratulations! That's a great score. Thinking about drinking them at maturiy will help you stay alive.

Indeed, Mr. Flaneur, I was just discussing with my brother tonight the plans for my cellar after I travel on to meet the Great Stefan in the Great Tasting Room in the Sky.
I still say the best plan is DavidG's: Leave a moderate sized cellar for our heirs.
I thank you for your enablement, I am very happy with my purchase, you are right, I would have been disappointed not to have closed the deal in this opportunity.
These wines are safe and sound under lock and key and fully insured, I look forward to drinking them with you and BWEers for many years to come....

The most exciting purchase of my career! Lafite has always held a mystique for me, to me it is the ultimate. Probably the biggest disappointment in our pandemic trip cancellation .

For me, too. No other first growth has it. It reminds me of Salieri versus Mozart: Salieri crafts a perfect composition, then a Mozart piece blows it away.

Thank you, JF....
My current Lafite inventory:
3 x 1996 Chateau Lafite Rothschild
1 x 2002 Chateau Lafite Rothschild
2 x 2004 Chateau Lafite Rothschild
22 x 2016 Chateau Lafite Rothschild
6 x 2019 Chateau Lafite Rothschild
Total Lafites in cellar: 34
If you had told me 24 years ago when we started this site that I would have 34 bottles of Chateau Lafite Rothschild in my cellar I would have called you crazy, I would never spend $100-$180 per bottle for that many wines....

It is just a tad sad that Lafite has replaced (i guess temporarily) in your mind the greatest red Bordeaux wine of all times, the 1989 Lynch Bages…

I don’t mind saying that it has crossed my mind, Nicola, to start buying older vintages like normal people, but I think I have enough wine in the cellar for now….!
Re: Sixteen more bottles of 2016 Chateau Lafite have been secured….
Wine enough for after you turn 90, but what about when you are in your seventies and eighties?

Re: Sixteen more bottles of 2016 Chateau Lafite have been secured….
Well, Stefan, you guys talked me into it, I just bought five bottles of a certain northern Medoc by the name of 1989 Chateau Lynch Bages....
Re: Sixteen more bottles of 2016 Chateau Lafite have been secured….
Great wine for celebrating your 80th birthday! One lot I lost in my last auction outing contained a bottle of '89 Lynch Bages. I hope it found a good home.
