| April was a fantastic tasting for month for me personally. I basically ended the month with a 5 way tie for first place...unprecidented for me.
1988 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill, Brut
1985 Col d'Orcia (Cinzano) Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento
1979 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Villero di Castiglione Falletto
1988 Salon Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs
1985 Charles Heidsieck Champagne Blanc des Millénaires
Barely behind and I mean by just a hair:
1995 Krug Champagne Brut
1996 Bollinger Champagne R.D. Extra Brut
And definitely worth mentioning as runners-up if you can even use those words for wines of this caliber:
1990 E. Fuligni (Cottimelli) Brunello di Montalcino
1990 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia
1998 Gaja Langhe Nebbiolo Sperss
2000 Bruno Rocca Barbaresco RabajÃ
1989 Château La Mission Haut-Brion
1977 Fonseca Porto Vintage
