A good vintage Port.

Sat down with a bottle of '77 Taylors over Christmas, it was like drinking liquid sex.

Edit: screw caps are a superior form of sealing a bottle, providing a much greater seal. They're not as fun though, and have a negative image because they were originally used on cheap wines. Avoid plastic corks like the plague, the whole point of normal corks is that the wine soaks them and they expand to fill all gaps in the neck. Plastic corks can't expand so are more likely to allow air seepage. A good cork shouldn't rot if the wine is stored properly.

ALWAYS store your wines horizontally, i can't stress this enough.
