| 1996 or the 2001 Cos d’Estournel. Which one would you buy for $75 and why?
I’m leaning towards the 96 even though I’ll need to wait a few years to drink. | | |

| i would buy the 96. first the 01 should be available for $60-65 a bottle. second, 1996 was a better overall vintage. third, i would prefer to drink a bordeaux with some age. | | | |

At least until 2010 (for all 96's I would say). | | | |
