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 them easily.  And so they stay and age.  I got all my 2000's upon release so I am as they would say in watch parlance "Original Owner" so I can vouch for the perfect storage.


If you have any from the year 2000 chime in.

Have  great weekend.

Bill

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]
