2000 Vintage

[winoweenie]

Think there are, like all intangible questions, different approaches. There are lots of lesser growths and Bordeaux Superiors that will drink swimmingly after a little rest. Not quite as precocious as the 1982 vintage, but IMHO very close. I've drunk enough California Cabs that I have a good idea the quality of the juice even out of barrel. The reason I like the 2000 Bordeauxs' is because they are atypical. My jaded ole' palate understands them fairly well and I think they, like the 82s' are gonna' make for some keen drinking. I bought a few 95s' on futures, no 88, 89, or 90s' even tho the big guys raved about'em. Guess they're good wines, but not my cup of grapes. Just don't see the 2000s' dissapointing. WW
