Re: 2000 Bordeaux

Posted by Jim Cate on June 3, 2003 at 20:27:02:

Thanks for the information Lee. - Yes, I meant the "cheaper" or carrudes of the first growths, although even those are now quite expenseve. As you probably noticed, Wine Spectator of a few months back included an article about the 2000 Bordeauxs, which they thought was one of the best years in a long time. In particular, they rated Lafitte, latour, and leoville Las Casas as perfect 100s.
As to waiting for another 15 years before trying any of the 2000s, what if I laid down a small collection of several of the 2000s but didn't survive for another 15-20 years? The wines would be left to my family, none of whom would appreciate them or know how to sell them. - Would that be a wise move? You are suggesting that If I don't survive for another 15-20 years, it be better never even to try any of them (at 10-12 years, after an hour or so of breathing) in the first place?
