In no particualar order, then the top 3... 2001 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon; 1961 Chateau Latour; 1947 Chateau Caillou; 1985 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Echezeaux; 2002 Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvingon; 2002 Domaine Michelot Meursault "Perriers"; 1964 Karthauserhof Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Kronenberg feinste Riesling Auslese; 2000 Trimbach Gewurztraminer Hors Choix Selection Grains Nobles; 1993 Royal Tokaji Wine Company Escenzia; 1990 Krug; 1997 Gaja Costa Russi; 1990 Chateau Margaux;

That does it... read some of the reviews in earlier posts... Now for the top 5... #5 2004 Pride MME-B Merlot (Barrel Sample)... wow. I don't think Merlot gets any better from California. #4 1990 Chateau Margaux... easily the best Margaux I've ever had (better than the 78 by miles). #3 1990 Krug Champagne... amazing Champagne... still searching for a bottle for myself. #2 1961 Chateau Latour... everything I could have ever expected. Could be the greatest wine I've ever had, but it wasn't the most suprising. For me, the #1 wine of 2005 was the 2001 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the stuff... possibly the greatest young California Cabernet Sauvignon I've ever tasted. This thing is completely enthralling. Everything I'm thinking about when I taste this wine gets obliterated... It's a monster... reminds me of young Latour. Great stuff. Cheers!
