My list of overrated wines would have to include Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1982 and Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou 1970 and 1986. Come to think of it, much in all as I like to think that enjoy Red Bordeaux, the list of disappointments far exceeds the number of wines that deliver especially when you look at the cost. I have also had mixed results with Eisweins/Icewines from Canada and Germany. When you look at the cost, they should deliver every time but that is not the case. Also late harvest Alsatian wines.
