Hi.
Newbie here, looking to pick up a pair of shoes. I have an extensive (temp/humidity) controlled wine cellar. I'm offering a magnum of 2003 leoville barton...its hard to put an exact value on this bottle but its somewhere between $300 and $425. If history is an indicator, the value of this wine will continue to increase and, unlike shoes, you can't find this on sale or for less on ebay. This wine was named the #3 wine of the year by the Wine Spectator in 2006.
I've been looking at Santori FAMs but would be open to just about anything. I need something that works with a suit and I can wear on wall st (fairly conservative).
I'm not really a stickler for $ for $ value...it can be hard to put a value on shoes and wine, so offer something fair and we should be good to go.

One cannot admire enough proprietor Anthony Barton and his classic, potentially long-lived wines that are models of power, elegance, and longevity – in short, these wines symbolize what makes Bordeaux so world-renowned! Probably capable of rivaling the 2000, the uncompromisingly made, formidably powerful, masculine, and highly extracted 2003 has an inky purple color to the rim, a big, deep personality with a tight but promising nose of forest floor, creme de cassis, smoke, charcoal, licorice, and perhaps even truffle. It is layered, rich, and set for an exceptionally long life, but don’t expect to get a lot of joy even in this somewhat overtly styled vintage for at least another 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030+.

Intense blackberry and cherry, with hints of currant. Toasted oak and sweet tobacco too. Roses and other flowers, such as lilacs. Full-bodied, with masses of tannins yet incredibly long and seductive. Best after 2012. 18,330 cases made. (JS)
