2003 Lafite Rothschild storage question

[Innkeeper]

Hi JBworldwide, and welcome to the Wine Board. My view is that it is far better to invest in the stock market than in wine. Having said that, if you can afford the Lafite Rothschild and are fond of First Growth Bordeaux, go for it. I don't think it has been harmed. It is good that it was stocked down low as heat rises. Most stores put the best stuff on top. Plan on aging it a minimum of seven or eight years in a cool, humid place.
