Steve,
Thanks for the TN's. Haven't tried B-L in some years. Back in the early 90's
they were doing some nice PN's, but about '95 (?) they oaked the heck out of
about 3 weaker vintages. During that time, some others were doing, what I
felt was a better job, so I have been passing over their wines since. I'll
make an effort to look into them again. I'm a bit surprised at the US$13, as
that was about the price-point 10 years ago.
Again, thanks for reawakening an interest in this estate - love the stamp!
