BV George de Latour is one of my favorite wines. I have not had the 2000
and passed on most Napa 2000's.

Can you try a bottle and see if its to your liking before taking the entire
case? BV is a favorite...one of the best wines I have had was a BV GdL from
1986, 1987 and the 1997 which I still have some in cellar.

Dale mentioned BV and cork contamination. All I can say is #1, BV would
likely stand behind if you had an issue. In fact when I saw the article I
had a full case in my cellar of 1997 and was concerned. I wrote them and
they assured me that they would stand behind if any issues. Then in the
mail a few days later I received a letter from the wine maker and a really
nice, leather bound book, on the history of the valley showing the
contributions of George De Latour.

Very Classy!!!
