The big wine year of the last century. The year 2000.

Sounds so dramatic. But I have a nice selection, well the ones visible, that are probably yeady to drink. This is a selection I would need to do some heavy lifting to find them all. It is a problem when you keep loading up over the years you can't get to ...  

Wow!

surprises never seem to cease as far as your cellar is concerned. A good spread of Bordeaux 2000----one vintage which is sorely lacking in my small collection They are ready for drinking but will hold their own and develop even further over the next many ... 

I am always looking for reasonable wines.

It is easy to be sometimes disappointed with β€œbig” wines but it is a joy to find pleasure in tte lesser known stars. My problem is my wall of cases and getting to the wine in a reasonable order. ...  

I was wondering how it was possible that...

...I could not find any Bordeaux from 2000. Now I know why : you were the one who bought all the stocks from the market and dried the market worldwide ! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ You have an impressive cellar Bill that is for sure ! πŸ‘πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ Mike

What a selection Bill!

Having drank many β€˜95, β€˜96, 2000, β€˜05, ,09 and ,10, I can say 2000 is my favourite vintage. I know 5-9-10 are too young, but I can project. The 2000 is drinking beautifully now with decades to go. You have planned so well in advance having cases and cases... 

I found a few more case. And there is still more.

Boy this is a problem. I have a bunch of monbousquet 2000. ...  

And more random 05 and 06

You buy well Bill. Good vintage in bulk. Quality wines but not overpaying for premier cru.

I do love some of the super stars and premier cru, but honestly 2008 on how can one say Pontet Canet is not as good (better IMHO) than Mouton Rothschild. Actually I think the 2005 Pontet not has exceeded the 05 Mouton, different but on par with Lafite and... 

You really know your stuff.

I am still learning with every bottle. But i can’t seem to find the best words to describe the wine in the same fashion that you and Henry can so elegantly. Have a great weekend Bill

You too Bill! [nt]
