Halfway there...what's your WOTY?

Snap

I had this a few years ago & scored it 99/100
In hindsight i should have given it my first ever 100/100
Great drinking

+1, one of the two best champagnes of my life along with the 71 Krug collection both in magnum.

2003 Jaffurs Melville. Underrated, under appreciated, but the standard by which all other Central Coast Syrahs should be judged.

1990 Krug
1996 DP Oeno

1988 Dom Pérignon Rosé Oenothèque

Look at all the Dom Perignon love!

Red

1996 Mauro Vendemmia Selecionada

White/Sticky

2011 Doisy Daene Barsac

it was shared very generously. I looked to purchase some (ouch) and instead backfilled on the 96 Oeno

Please tell us about the Abreu . flirtysmile

I did not open the Granbussia, but the 2004 Henri Bonneau Réserve des Célestins that Mr. Pomegranate Smoothie brought is definitely a candidate.

88 Guigal La Turque and La Landonne drunk last night are contenders.

La Tache 1959 , La Landonne 78 or Petrus 49 , I think .

I had the 1971 of this Champagne at the end of the first Galloni La Festa del Barolo after more than 40 wines, and still blew me away. Absolutely stunning stuff.

Not really gotten to the very high end this year but the two highlights have been

2007 Lillian Syrah
2009 Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir

1890 D’Oilveiras Verdehlo (Thank you, Eric Ifune!)

Was this the one we had at Lucio’s?

Add another to the list. the 2009 Samsara Ranch la Vina SRH pinot noir about spun my head off this evening. wow.

That was a great night. My box of wine glasses still smells great.

Taylor’s 1963
La Tâche 1990
Montrose 1990
Pavie 1990
Petrus 1949
Dominus 1991
Margaux 1981
Poggio Al Vento 1982
Leoville Las Cases 1986
Clos St. Jacques 1988
La Landonne 1978

Sigalas 2004 Vin Santo

A wine rarely sticks out in my mind as a WOTY and I am surprised a sweet one would but this was awesome. So much going on, amazing balance, sweet but not cloying, and ethereal… glad I bought a case based on my experience with the producer.
