94 Mouton vs 93 Grand Puy Lacoste

Can you imagine a 93 Grand Puy Lacoste (5 eme) taste better than a 94 Mouton Rothschild(1 eme)?

Some background information for non-wine lover. In the world of red wine, Bordeaux red wines are at the apex. The best and most famous wines are usually come from Bordeaux left bank. In the left bank, 61 top wines were classified into Grand Cru Classes (GCC), and GCC are sub-catagorized into first to fifth growth (1st eme to 5th eme). The most famous wine from 1st eme must be Lafite. Other than Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Haut Brion and Mouton are also first growth. In short, these 5 big names stand at the apex.

Last week I had a casual dinner with friends, but casual dinner today may mean drinking 2nd eme Las Cases and Montrose. After the dinner, Jeff, Ivan and Voller came to my place and we had a tasting that comparable to 神之水滴 when 神之雫 is looking for a lower rank wine to fight with Mouton. 神之雫 has chosen a Grand Puy Lacoste and we did the same and had the same result. Haha, a $500 wine beat a $4000 wine.
