Rocketman,
Do you think we'll see a bit more stratification in the BV2 group over time? For example, Westley Richards continues to build guns and therefore their brand, with presence at shows, in magazines etc.
I would assume there would be some effect on "perceived" value of older WR's over time as new people become familiar with current WR production, (which I think would be considered BV1).
A corollary might be wines from Bordeaux - there are 5 first growths today, but there were only 4 (Haut Brion, Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Margaux) in the original 1855 Napoleonic classification. Mouton Rothschild was moved to a first growth in 1973 due to their perceived performance as a first growth over an extended period.
While there's a lot more intrigue to the Mouton Rothschild First Growth matriculation than I'll go into here, suffice it to say that any pre-1973 wines from Mouton Rothschild are now considered by the market to be "first growth".
