2005 Destieux (St Emilion) ~$40
2005 Chateau Lagrange (St. Julien) ~$60
2005 Clos Du Jaugueyron (Margaux) ~$100 (I bought some of these as futures when they were half this price, not sure they're worth $100 now released, but they are always excellent wines IMO)
2005 Chateau D'Issan (Margaux) ~$70
2005 Pontet Canet (Pauillac) This gets my 'must buy', not cheap at ~$130 but you will be rewarded in 10+ years I am sure.
The Sauternes look good too, they take forever to mature though.

Oh, and pick up some Pavie too
Those prices look pretty high...

I have a couple of cases of D'Issan 2000; not sure if I have tried one yet. Bought them as futures.

Love Pauillac's!

One of the best bets if you want to spend some money is Mission Haut Brion.
