I would agree with pretty much everything said before. Very good year in
Bordeaux. The Médoc suggestiosn are good. In past year I've had good
experiences with Meyney (much much cheaper than your limit), Gruaud Larose &
Grand Puy Lacoste(much cheaper than your limit) , as well as Montrose, Lynch
Bages, & Cos d'Estournel (still within your limit).

But...if it were me....I'd go for Pomerols. I've never had a bad '89 Pomerol
(excluding damaged/corked bottles) . And this is coming from someone who's
natural preferences are Left Bank. See what's available- Bon Pasteur, Clinet,
Trotanoy, l'Evangile, etc.

St. Emilion's a tad spottier, but Troplong-Mondot & l'Angelus are glorious.
