Second Labels

[winoweenie]

Foodie, If you go back on the Cab thread I think you'll find that I've made a substantial investment in 2000 bordeaux futures, and the bulk of them are the 2nd labels of the first,second and third growths. However in the normal vintages the 2nd labels are as outlined....Not good enough to be bottled as their top wines. And if, by any stretch of the imiagination you think that a B.V Beau Tour Compares to the Rutherford or the Reserve bottlings, or that Caymus Liberty School is the quality of their Napa Estate then you need a tune-up on your taster. The question was if Calif had second bottlings and why they existed. And yes I agree that the Hess Select is a nice bottle but it sure as Heck 'aint no Collection in any way, shape or form. WW
