Where de' money goin?

[winoweenie]

A friend asked me what I was going to do with the cash saved from abstinenance of the Cali-Highs. To set the record straight, I doubled my order of 2000 Bordeaux futures. A close freind has tasted over 400 wines outta' barrel and ( I trust his Palate ) says the following are great or potentially outstanding wines from the vintage:
St Emilions

Ch L'Archange......35-40
Ch Barde Haute.....39-42
Ch Figeac..........60-65
Pressac............18-21
La Tour Figeac.....27-31

Pomerols

La Croix de Gay....25-28
Ch Montviel........23-26
Ch La Pointe.......22-25
Ch Clos Rene.......20-23

Haut- Medoc

Ch Beaumont........10-12
Ch Camensac........15-17
Ch La Lagune.......25-28
Ch Pontesac........16-18
Sociando Mallet....25-28

St Estephe

Ch De Pez..........17-19
Dame De Montrose...18-20
Les Orme De Pez....19-22
Ch Lafon Rochet....22-25
Paullic

Ch D'Armailhac.....22-25
Carrudes De Lafite.28-30
Duhart Milon-Roth..20-23
Forts De Latour....50-55
Haut Bages Liberal.20-22
Ch La Tourette.....25-28
Pontet Canet.......40-45

Margaux

Alter Ego De Palmer..32-35
Brane Cantenac.......40-44
Ch D'Issan...........27-30
Ch Monbrisson........19-22

St Julian

Brainaire-Ducru......28-32
Ch LaGrange..........24-27
Langoa Barton........40-45


There are many others but these are the bottles he felt had a particularly high P/Q. Another high wine on his list was a Bordeaux Superior Ch Reignac at 17-19. He gave it a 92. I've ordered the above and Bucko you'll notice not ONE FIRST GROWTH OR SUPER SECOND. I'm putting them on the same plane as the Cali's. Take that winemakers of the world! WW
