Edmunds St John at an auction, which would you buy?

There are six lots of wines from Edmunds St John at an auction here in Stockholm tomorrow. You can find them here: http://www.stadsauktion.se/auktion/sok/?u=0&sok=edmunds Which one(s) would you buy, if any, and what would you pay? For your information, 6.6 SEK = 1 USD

There's quite an impressive range of American wines for sale, mostly Californian. A hotel in Stockholm is clearing its cellar. In case you are curious, you can have a look here: http://www.stadsauktion.se/auktion/Drycker/

Thanks for your input,
Anders

Personally, I would stay with the syrahs. The others may be fine but the odds are better with the syrahs.
Best, Jim

Thanks, Jim,

I was indeed thinking along the same line. The prices are already rising on the lots, so we'll see if I end up buying something.

More input still welcome.

Anders,
I browsed through the inventory although I am a bit far from Stockholm. I have to admit it is a sweet inventory!

Skip the Sangiovese. The rest are all very interesting.

All other things being equal, I'd go for the '96 Durell. Failing that, any of the Syrah wines.
