| I saw one bottle of each of these in the local shop. Each priced @ $600. Not that I'm buying either one, but I'm curious to know what people think about those prices. I'm guessing that's about 3x markup from the release price? | | |

| | No idea, but wasn't the 1994 rated about 98 or so points by Parker? | | | |

| Yeah, I figured it got a pretty high score. I haven't done any reasearch because I'm not going to buy either of those bottles, but I was just curious. Actually, I think they just showed up on the shelf in the temp controlled room at the store. I'll be interested to see how long they stay there.
On that note, if anyone on the forum is interested, let me know and I can provide the information for the store. Just drop me a PM or reply and I'll send you the details. | | | |

| mdriver,
Just fyi, the current winebid auction has a few bottles of the 94 /95 Harlan. They are priced around $400 at the moment.
Just a price comparison... | | | |

| | Got another Christman card from Harlan. I wish they would stop doing that. It only reminds me that I still only on the Maiden mailing list. | | | |

| The '94 actually got a 100 from RP and, in my mind, deserved every one of those points.
To this day it's still the greatest wine I have ever tasted.
$600 per bottle is outrageous. | | | |

| $600 is gauging.
Current auction average is @ $400-$450.
Got my card too, just waiting for the juice! | | | |
