flawed
Sunday, November 10, 2019 - one of the most expensive bottles I've ever bought $250.00. Of the last 4 posts two were flawed and 1 was 84pts. If it's a 50% probability of the wine being bad, then the real cost would be twice. $250 x50% = $500. I've learned my lesson and will not be buying older expensive wines when it's a high probability of being bad.

For what it's worth, my flawed rate on older, non-US wines is about 5% vs. 1% or less on those from here, perhaps explainable because issues with transport and/or storage, more likely when wine is coming from 5000+ miles away than 50--at least for me--come into play more over time. I've had particularly mixed experiences with '98 ('97 has been better). I bought 3 older white burgs that were oxidized a few years ago, including a Batard Montrachet that was almost what you paid for this. Ouch.
