Rampant inflation for Kirwan 2005
7 Jun 2006 by JR
Nigel Morland, Farnham, Surrey: Fascinating to watch the pricing of Bordeaux 2005 unfold. Kirwan 2005  was released yesterday by   Majestic @ £285   Bibendum and Justerini & Brooks @ £300   BBR @ £318 Of course by the time you actually get the Majestic e-mail they have sold out. Then, one day later, BBR announce they are now selling Kirwan at a "secondary price" of £360 - great choice of wording. Now that's inflation - keep that daily inflation rate of 13% up for a year and next June it will be worth £12,973,755,974,155,700,000,000. I may just retire!...
