All the wines held up very well including the 1918. Francois opens each bottle some 3-4 hours prior to his dinners to let them breathe and evolve. He's told of bottles that smelled absolutely terrible on first open (that others have thrown away) but were wonderful 4 hours later.

If you don't mind me asking, how much is it, roughly speaking? In the interest of, is this even an attainable bucket list item for a normie like me.
Prices vary according to his wine selections for each dinner, and roughly track the price/value of the wines. The dinner price range this past year was between 2,200€ and 6,500€ both including 20% VAT. My dinner was 3,120€ including tax (2,600€ pretax). I had calculated the aggregate value of the 10 wines on our list was in the 20,000€ range, so 2,000€ per person.
