Chateau Lafite, Latour & Mouton 2002

I got a seller for the above wines for USD115 each to be delivered in July 2005. Can anyone please advise it's a good buy??

Futures are almost always a crap-shoot unless it's a year that all the critics, press, and negotiantants agree is great. Haven't heard the kind of buzz on the 02s' that the 00s' carried. The position the wine worlds in at present , don't think I'd be putting out a lot of hard-earned for a wine to be delivered in 2 years. Unless the glut of juice abates they could quite possibly arrive in Singapore for LESS than the futures offerings. WW

Have heard rumers of deep discounting on the '02s, particularly the First Growths, who will set the mark for others.

02 may stack up as a buyer's market. I'm definitely keeping my ear to the ground.
