Opus One 1983-1993

PW,

I think that is a high price (ave $150 a bottle). I've been to auctions lately where Opus One has been picked up for less on better vintages like 94 and 99 (listed below). I know that these are newer but previous Opus Ones also were not much better in price, especially a vertical. I think that if you consider that the auctioneer takes 15% off then the prices average between $85-$100 for OWC of validated storage, then you should be able to go back for a better offer much lower than $10K.
