Hi, For 2000's I've tried the Leoville Barton, Lynch Bages, Cos d'Estournel and a few others. If you're dead set on getting the 2000s I'd say buy as many of the Lynch Bages as you can. They were the star of the tasting. Second, I would buy the Barton.

That being said, I suggest buying the 2001s instead. They are more reasonably priced and will be just as good in many cases...and in a few, even better. Lynch Bages and Barton are two that will do well for you. Cos D'Estournel would be a good third. Palmer in 01 will be in your price range too.

I recommend checking out the K&L web site on these wines. The buyers there are very experienced and have a long history with the wines they buy.

Good luck,
Mike
