I would go with the '95 Cristal with food. I have found the '88 drinking better than the '85.

Enjoy,

Michael

well neither would be with food - either before or after - and both are around $250/260 and those 2 are my only choices - you think the Cristal? The gut seeling the 85 said that was one of Dom's best years - you think hes just saying that to sell it?

'85, and '90 and '95 were great years.
Can't go wrong with either.

How are those your only choices? Are you in a hurry?
