In 2003 there was a terrible heat wave and drought in France, killing a great deal of the grapes, also killing many people. This also made the grapes that survived extremely rubust. The limited availability and high qualty of the vintage dictates the price.
If Wine storage more days, it will good & cost of the wine will be increase in terms of staorage charges
Why don't you just buy 334 bottles of Mad dog? You can get a fresh bottle that was made in 2007 at most liquor stores. Especially the ones with bars on the windows.
