1966 vintage?

I agree, the big value is 1970, or at least was.

The 66 Gruaud is terrific.

Fill levels, of course, are key. Top shoulder only.
 
kay, in the more affordable range montrose, calon-segur, haut-bailly, magdelaine, pape-clement, bouscaut, canon, figeac, conseillante, ddc, cantemerle, giscours, la tour de mons, gpl, gruaud, ducru, beychevelle, and of course eminence road bordeaux blend.

VLM, I think '66 VCC is quite expensive.

My hammer + vig + NC sales tax price from the Leland Little auction was:

LLC $164.91
Calon-Segur $164.91
VCC $202.96

How transparent/trustworthy do you think they are vis-à-vis provenance and storage history? Did you go or bid online?

Not really transparent, but the bottles I've won have been in decent enough condition.

I mostly bottom feed there.
 
Levi served a group of us a few years back a 1966 Musar that was pretty mind-blowing. Unfortunately, judging by wine-searcher you will need to go to Spain or the UK to find a bottle.

And that color would be Rouge.

The case of 1996/1997 Gouges I got from them was in very good condition. That's my only experience.

We need to coordinate better. I bid against you on that lot.
