Hi all,
Does anybody know of a good French/German/Italian wine of 2003 that can be stored (and remain drinkable) for the next 25 to 30 years?

There should be at least 500 wines meeting that requirement.
Any more specific requests?

500 only? The Germans made any number of Trockenbeerenauslesen in that extreme year... :-) Anders
Hi Max, As noted there are probably a number of wines that would suit your request. The group probably needs more information, particularly on the price you are willing to pay, before they can offer useful advice. Also, storage conditions will have an impact on choice.
2003 was a hot year in France and there are still on going debates about the longevity of the wines, but usually First Growths will age if you are willing to pay the price (they are very expensive). I'm sure you will get more suggestions when we know a price point. TimOI would go for a red, dry or semi-dry. A Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot or Pinot Noir. The wine will be stored in a cellar (not a wine cellar), where there is little to no light at all and no heaters. I guess the temperature will fall below 15C in winter, but it would be interesting to measure the temperature...
I will also store the bottle horizontally. I have no wine racks at the moment, but it I get a a few good wines I'm willing to invest a rack or two.
Price... difficult to say... I was thinking of buying between 5 and 10 bottles.
Without considering the price but the other conditions, what good wines fall in this category?
Thanks Max
