"My tastings confirm that the 2000 vintage has produced some of the most immense, black-colored, concentrated, powerful, and tannic wines of the last thirty years. For that reason, the vintage is difficult to compare with any of its predecessors that qualify as superstar years. The wines are generally less accessible than the 1982s, 1989s, and 1990s, but are possibly more concentrated, blacker-colored, heavier, and thicker than the 1986s, 1995s, or 1996s were at a similar age. Moreover, the finest 2000s possess the most impressive length, structure, concentration, and delineation that I have experienced in 23 years of tasting new Bordeaux vintages." – Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Tips on placing a successful bid:
 |
 |
|
Research current retail and auction price data at www.wineprices.com to determine a fair and realistic bid price. |
|
|
|
Consider that the seller is charged a 15% to 20% commission, as well as shipping (if the wine is not in Vinfolio storage). |
|
|
|
Note the location from which you'd like your wine to be sourced. Wine in Vinfolio storage can usually be fulfilled more quickly upon bid acceptance. |
|
|
|
Make sure the quantity you are bidding on is actually available in the Marketplace. |
|
|
|
Remember, sellers are not obligated to sell their wine, but placing a fair and realistic bid will improve your chances of success. |
