Errazuriz KAI captured first place. Napa Valley's cult classic Opus One was ranked second and Bordeaux's Chateau Haut-Brion came third. All the wines competing - including Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Tuscany's Sassicaia and Napa's Stag's Leap SLV - were of the 2006 vintage.
None of the wines tasted were cheap, but the five Chileans, which included Errazuriz Don Maximiano, which placed fourth, La Cumbre, number six, and Vinedo Chadwick,tied for ninth place, cost less in some cases a lot less.
