I've got 94-present in the cinq cepages.

Yeah, it used to be fairly inexpensive, in 1996 it was around 20 bucks a bottle then after getting wine of the year it was around 75 dollars.

Both of the 82's are empty. Heck I didn't even drink them. They came from the restaurant I used to bartend at. The Petrus went for i think 2 grand a bottle at the restaurant. It was comped anyway, he paid for it on the blackjack table.
