Is a Cordier 2000 Bordeaux Claret worth putting down? If so for how long?
Thank you for any help.

Hi JW and welcome to the board. Which one? WW

Well I did go to the novice board - I didn't even realise there were more than one. It has 2 labels on the front, one on the back. The big one on the front says..
Cordier
Hotel Labottiere
Glasse. Monument Historique
Bordeaux
Appelation Bordeaux Controlee
Claret
Mis en Bouteille a Blanquefort
par Cordier - Bordeaux - France
Small front one says...
Grand Vin de Bordeaux
Which of this is important? Should I send the blurb on the back as well?

Hi Janie agin'. What you have is a wine privately labeled for the hotel. The Cordier properties that I have cellared in the past are Chateau Talbot and my favorite Gruaud Larose. They are both classified growths and yopu mite want to check with a releable wine merchant in your area and investigate the idea of buying futures of the 2000 vintage. WW
