My two favorites this year were:

1997 Banfi Brunello di Montalcino -- you can't go wrong with almost any '97 Brunello, but this one is outstanding!!! The '99 isn't bad either, but no comparison. Had TWO bottles at the Ritz Carlton Cancun Grill (prior to the hurricane devastation) in June!

2002 Turley Zinfandel -- had some at Aureole in Las Vegas with some colleagues and all I can say is OH MY! It was the spiciest bouquet that I have ever encountered and worth every penny that I overpaid for it!
