Default Sticker shock

My Burgundy epiphany arrived in the form of the '88 Dujac Clos de la
Roche, which we purchased at the first HDH auction in 2004 as part of a
mixed case of '88 GCs (total cost $550 + vig for the case). Today, I
received the latest HDH auction catalogue in which that same '88 Dujac
Clos de la Roche is now priced at $300-450 a _bottle_! The only
silver lining is a graphic at the beginning of the catalogue showing an
overall decline in auction prices over the past year. Perhaps we can
dub that the "Rudy Kurniawan effect"? ;-)
