When looking for collectable wines, one must be assured it comes from a great vintage, or year. Growing conditions can change year to year and affect rarity value. Wines and vintages are also constantly reassessed based on contemporary market conditions.
The 1982 vintage is a rare case producing some of the best Bordeaux wines ever. Similar praise has been awarded to the more recent 2000 and 2005 vintages.
With the correct wine from the correct vintage, patience and timing can lead to lucrative sales.
Note that even in the "bad" years, there has still been exceptional performance from wines where they have achieved high Robert Parker scores.
