With the latest editions ('90,'96,'98,'99,'00) to my cellar (thanks to Stevie Cage ), it's Cos d'Estournel for me with:

1986
1988
1989
1990
1993
1994
1996
1997
1998
1999
2000
2002(futures)

Now I need to add the 2001 I've been eyeing

Good thread. Unfortunetly my impatience has damaged my verticles the last few years.

Best I got going now, barely:

Mondavi Reserve: 94, 96, 97, 99, 2001

Banfi Brunello: 95, 97, 98, 99


Nothing more than 3 after that.

My bench is not too deep lately.

I just checked my log, and I was suyprised to see that for me, the "longest vertical" I have is Yalumba "The Signature." For me it is

1996
1997
1998
1999

Not too sexy, but a very good wine.

-----------------------
I'm what Willis was talking about!

Van Der Hayden Cabernet - 1987, 1992, 1994, 1995, [1996 wasn't made], 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000.
Plus the 1999 Cornerstone and Hillside limited releases.

Also I managed to pick up the incredibly rare 1990 Late Harvest Cabernet last year, so now I have every year the wine has been released so far - 1990, 1994, 1996, 1997 and 2000.

My longest unbroken run is Penfolds Bin 28 96-01.
I also have Bin 128 97-00 and Bin 389 98-01
