I just had the 1994 Haut Brion once, and it was wonderful; inspired me to look for other good 1994s.

Jancis recently gave it an 18.5 so I'm pulling the cork this Thursday night. We shall see.
2000 Antinori Solaia - it seemed a bit tired when I opened one last year. Hope this shows much better on Friday.

Someone opened this at a Supper a couple of months ago and this showed beautifully. May your bottle show as well
I have 2 left. Thinking they're right in the zone for my tastes now. Have one standing!

Taking to the wine dinner tonight... fingers crossed Jancis was correct as to when to open.
2003 Croft vintage port.
Regular readers may recall that I am firm on letting ports mature before drinking them, but I'm making an exception this evening in an effort to broaden my horizons. And because the stuff is available across the river at a great price and I want to try to gauge when its drinking window may open.

I appreciate you taking one for the team Bman. Look forward to reading your comments tomorrow. No doubt there will be things like "all the ingredients are there, but it just hasn't cooked long enough".

I tasted it at an industry tasting in the Pierre Hotel in NYC maybe 8 years ago or so. I don't remember how long it had been opened, but it was terrific. The 1945 we begged a sip of was just about perfect.

So cruel to continually torture me with references to the best wine I've ever had.....
That was the 7th and final time I ever tasted that wine.
