Too early for me to make a list as I tend to drink great wines when they are at or near their drinking window and I suggest that the great wines so far,will not be at their best for at least another ten years or indeed much longer in the case of 2009 and 2005 Bordeaux for example.
Of the few wines I have actually drunk from this century,my favourites would be the 2001 and 2003 Yquem.
Yquem 2001 is great too.
03 Yquem lacks acidity for me......
But
01 Yquem
01 Suduiraut
09 Margaux
09 Mouton Rothschild
09 Haut-Brion
09 La Mission HB
09 Latour
09 Las cases
09 Schloss Lieser Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Auction wine
09 Schloss Johannisberg Goldlack TBA
Maybe also 09 Montrose
2008 Schloss Johannisberg Blaulack Eiswein
2007 Pauly Bergweiler Bernkasteler Badstube TBA
2007 Schloss Johannisberg Goldlack TBA (and the BA as well)
07 Lucien le Moine Montrachet (both Puligny and Chassagne cuvee)
06 DRC La Tache
Maybe 2005 Mouton
Actuallu 2004 Le Moine Richebourg and 04 Dom Leroy Gevrey-Chambertin
2007 Ramonet Montrachet (the 2001 as well.....)
Those are the ones I can think of.... more than 10.....
La Mission Haut Brion 2000. This is the greatest wine in 21st century so far.
For me:
07 Raveneau Les Clos
01 Cavallotto San Giuseppe
01 Gaja Sori San Lorenzo
05 Raphet Clos de Beze
01 Beaucastel Jacques Perrin
06 Allemand Reynard
03 Lafite
05 L'Evangile
06 Donnhoff Hermannshohle Auslese
01 Yquem
We have had many many many discussions about the question : when does the 21st century begin ?
The answer is 01-01-01 or 01/01/01.
So, all the wines of 2000 cannot be counted in the Top 10 of the 21st century.
As I am not an expert in young wines, I will just give some wines which have impressed me :
2009 Yquem the most glorious ever
2001 Yquem the most glorious before 2009 appeared
2005 Montrachet DRC
2005 La Turque Guigal
2005 Chambertin Armand Rousseau
2005 La Tâche
2003 Corton Charlemagne Coche Dury (probably not the greatest year of the decade, but the best ready to drink)
2005 Mouton
