Fair Value analysis
As Liv-ex’s Fair Value methodology shows, many back vintages look better value in relation to today’s release.
Its barrel range of 90-92 from Martin currently positions it as one of the lowest-scoringed vintages. The 94-point 2011 and 95-point 2019 with current Market Prices of £859 and £971 respectively stand out as offering better value.
The 2020 vintage, while a little more expensive at £1,000 per case, also offers value in relation to the 2021’s release with its score of 95-points.
