Lafleur Pomerol 2024 En Primeur release price at £583.33 makes no sense whatsoever. 2021 and 2017 are offered 26% and 20% cheaper respectively, and the latter was very well rated at release. Even if applying the contentious notion that 2024 was just "as bad", the actual ratings argue for 2024 being offered at a discount, not a premium to 2021 and 2017. 

It gets much worse looking further along the curve. 2014 and 2008 were generally regarded as good vintages in Pomerol, but 2024 is offered at almost DOUBLE the price of 2014 and over 60% higher than 2008. Folks seriously... when will this madness end?!

**** Please note En Primeur is HIGHLY speculative. This is not buying wine for consumption but making a speculative bet that wine bought now before bottling, will be cheaper than buying the same wine in 5, 10 or 20 years time.
