Ch. Greysac 2003

this haut medoc wine is on sale in my local store for 16.99 and they have a shelf full. Opened one up the other night and found it quite drinkable now and should store for 5-7 years.

Thanks for the heads up. This one isn't a Chairman's Selection but is an equally good buy. I haven't heard much about the 2003 vintage here or abroad but everything tried so far has been equal to the vaunted '02.

For what it's worth, the LCB has a link on their site to a vintage chart in the free section of eRobertParker.com. It is an eye chart in every sense of the word but may provide some guidance.

2000 is rated as extraordinary and has been compared to '82 and '61.
2003 is rated a high outstanding, so any good producer is going to have a wine that will sit for 5-8 years. Greysac is mentioned in Parker's book and since the LCB doesn't price by vintage this is clearly one to stock up on.
2005, BTW - which is still in futures, is also an Outstanding year for this area.
