great wines

With no regards to price or availability,

what are the 25 best wines/vintages ever??

Hi Alecjohn, and welcome to the Wine Board. Sometimes the simplest questions are the hardest to answer. The problem is subjectivity versus objectivity. Also there is the time differential. Just as a wine evaluator in 1855 could not evaluate a wine in 2001, the reverse is as true.

There are many sites on the net that provide vintage information such as www.winespectator.com . There are also voluminous encyclopedias on wine, which are best perused in a well stocked library.

If you have specific questions about specific vintages and specific wines you should be able to get a better answer here.

Hi Alecjohn and welcome to the board. This question sounds suspiciously like a question posed in a college wine class. I can assure you there's no person on earth that can answer this question with any authority. To have experienced all of the great wines from the great vintages you would have to be a combination of Ramesis, Methusala, Baron Rohschild the 1st, Thos. Jefferson, Gerorge Latour, Louis Martini, Mike Broadbent, Andre Teschelitoff, and take your cherce of either Robert Parker OR Roberto. Fess up. WW

Don't forget Thomas Stevenson.
