BBR have had this wine listed at a high price since about a year ago and i'm not sure it is representative of what people are buying and selling at in the wider market.PopulusTremula wrote:Back on the topic of T97, i definitely think there has been an upward creep in prices. FRW quotes in line w BBR and prices on Wine Searcher (non pro) also seem to hover around the same level. Thus, i wonder if this has had some positive reviews lately, in spite of '97 being considered to be generally lackluster.
For instance, a couple of weeks ago there were cases listed at under £500 at three merchants (including Nickolls and Perks, who had a case at £460dp), now there are cases at £495 (though never heard of the merchant) and £550, and no doubt in a few more weeks there will be more coming and going.
A more representative data point might also be the big lot that came up at Sotheby's recently (mid-November), where 6 or so cases went for £430ish hammer (£500ish including bp?) - though I must admit i'm not sure whether this was ib or dp.
If you were wanting to buy some in the next 6 months, i'd be confident that you'd still find a nice case for under £500...but we'll see!
