I used to have a client that was a very wealthy wine collector. A couple of times a year he would give me a c. $1,000 bottle as a bonus. Mostly Bordeaux Cabernets. Lafitte Rothchilds, Petrus, Margeaux, etc. that were drinkable right away. Some of them were incredible. Others I did not care for that much. On the other hand I have bought bottles for $3 in France that I loved. Wine Spectator ratings (over 90) are pretty reliable but to each his own!
