Bordeaux 2012 is turning out to be 'better and cheaper' than 2011, according to many. Will you buy?

Yes - finally a vintage that I may be able to afford (24 vote, 34%)
No - Bordeaux left me behind years ago (18 vote, 26%)
Probably not - I'd rather buy vintages already on the market that offer better value (28 vote, 40%)
