I find there's good value in buying big names in off years. I'd avoid 70's stuff, but 80's is still fair game for bdx when priced right. Some wines like Burgundy of CdP, age is everything so I'd take an average mature bottle over a better recent bottle of the same price point.

Good call Moses- I'm in the process of picking up some 04 Bordeaux- prices are going to be friendly after the holiday season.
On the list : 04 leoville las cases
04 ducru beacalliou
And maybe an 04 mission haut brion.
I know I spelt beaucalliou wrong - thanks for no cut and paste on the iPhone, Apple!
