It’s probably going to be something at or near maturity.
It’s not that I’m so old - I’m 46, I hope that isn’t “so old,” anyway - but for my $200+, I’d probably be buying some great Bordeaux from the 1990s or 1980s, a classic 1994 California cab, a great mature Barolo, something like that.
I have a pretty large cellar and I’m patient with aging wines, but if I have the budget to splurge on a bottle like that, it’s not likely to be some 2015 Bordeaux that won’t be ready to drink for 25 years. To say the same thing another way, I think I’d use the splurge increment to pay for some bottle age.
… a Biondi-Santi Riserva.
For me probably a top flight Napa Cab for a special occasion. Last was my wife and my 15th anniversary which was celebrated with a 2012 Stag’s Leap Cask 23.
A 2014 grand Cru white Burg.
1982 Lynch-Bages - Great vintage, beautiful mature Bordeaux
Edit - It may be higher than your target.
priced in Trinidadian dollars*
*about 6.65 to one US$
I have done it exactly one time. It was for New Years Eve 2015 and it was for a 1990 Leoville Barton. It was the best bottle of wine I have ever had.

Somebody else’s tab.
For a really really big bottle.
After I get a raise and perhaps a second job, or at least until the kids are out of college.
I’ve got a million of these…
Will any of them be funny?
1981 Lopez de Heredia Bosconia Gran Reserva
Well … I’ve done this 3 times ever:
1996 Dom Ruinart BdB
1992 Shafer HSS
1982 Pavie
Of those three, the Shafer was most worth it.
My credit card say D’Yquem, Rayas, Selosse, or Dujac… and not very often!
