Hi Nori, and welcome to the Wine Board. My standard answer to questions such as this is Brunello Di Montalcino. It will be four years before the '99s are released. Look for one then.

Hi Nori and welcome to the board. You could, if the budget allows, buy any of the first growths of France or one of the great California Cabernets such as Dunn Howell Mountain, Diamond Creek " Volcanic Hill ". The only caveat is that whatever you buy must be stored in a controlled environment to last 18-20 years. A closet wont hack it. WW
