2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
I’m seeing this locally for $100 + 8.5% sales tax. It was my favorite wine at the 2016 UGC, in part because it was somehow both old school and up-to-the-minute at the same time. And 2016 is my daughter’s birthyear. But I don’t own any.
How much should I buy? I’m thinking 6, to lay down for my daughter of course.

Haha you beat me to it but I would just confirm it’s not a 375ml as cost was around $133/btl so that sounds wrong but in an insanely good way.DavidG wrote:All of it!

I know, too good to be true. But it is now on sale, marked down from $160, in their temp controlled room, has the anti-counterfeit stickers on the capsules, bottkes look pristine, etc.
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
Seriously, I would clean them out at that price.
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
I should see how much they have. The 16 Lynch is also on sale for $100.DavidG wrote:Seriously, I would clean them out at that price.

My Lordy, buy all of both of then, send us the scraps. I’d love both! Crazy price.
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
The Lynch Bages was pretty classy stuff at the UGCB tasting. Buy it all!
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
Damn, there’s no risk there you could sell it at a profit probably.
I need to get out to more wine stores, I never see prices like that on winesearcher. That’s a $150 wine

Buy, buy, buy like the wind.
If I had to choose between them I would choose the Baron, but the Lynch is exceptionally good as well.

Yes, buy them all. I have not had the Baron recently, but the Lynch just before lockdown was superb.

Depending on the quantities Patrick we could do a BWE syndicated loan to take out the entire stock.

I would buy as much as you can. That is a crazy good price for both.
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
Your question, my dear Blanquito, is more a brag than a query. Obviously you buy all they have. Save 21 for your daughter for when she comes of age and hope the rest last you into your 80s or 90s.
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
Blanquito, these are prices we never see here, so i recommend 6 of each minimum. You can't go wrong with these two Chateaux. And look at is objectively: probably they are better than the 2019, and the price is - 37.5 %, a bigger reduction than 2019 futures...
If I could have these prices for these two wines here, i would buy the Pauillac right now instead of red Bourgogne...

This is very helpful! It may seem hard to believe, but I was truly torn if I should just get something like 3 of each or if I should go big!
I will call when they open to find out how much they have.

This has got to be some kind of mistake, no?
What would motivate them to sell at such a huge loss?
Are they going out of business or something?
If it is legit, then... buy like the wind!

Wait!!! No Lynch!?!
Re: 2016 Pichon Baron for $100 — how much to buy?
I grabbed all of the Baron they had (7 bottles), $107 a bottle including tax... I chickened out on the buying the Lynch at the same time (they have 6 bottles of the Lynch)...

I feel so ashamed.

How will you explain to your daughter when she comes of age that you passed on the Lynch-Bages?

If that Lynch ever comes around to resemble the 89, Jimmy Howe will throw you into a Maine jail on charges of reckless disregard
