Yes, actually drinking the stuff isn't much fun, but at $5000 per case, who's complaining? I mean, you probably paid around $500 in 2005, so that kind of return in a mere 8 years is not to be sniffed at; that said, I do not see this meteoric rise continuing apace - just think, you could sell it and buy some proper wine! Perhaps a half-bottle of Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Eiswein, and spend the leftover on La Tache! As Leoville's go, Las Cases really is something special, although that's not to say that Barton is not; it's just different... very, very different. Rieussec is never a bad idea either. As you mention Lafite, I had a bottle of the 83 just the other day, and it was great; quite the bargain too, really, and drinking well now. Mouton always was the most "exuberant" of the 1sts, even before Parker came along, although it's been more so lately; the only "promotion" to 1st growth status ever too - who says that money can't buy anything? - although on the basis of 45, 47, 61, 82, 90 and 00, it probably deserves it, although Leoville Las Cases probably deserves it equally, but is less well-funded.
