My work bosses are rewarding those staff with more than 10 years'
service, and more than 30 days' annual leave, with a their choice of a
bottle of wine that was bottled in the year they joined the company
(those with 25 days or less are getting an extra five days' annual leave
instead).

Unfortunately I joined in 1989, which I understand wasn't a great year
for many wine regions.

I like many Riojas, especially reservas and gran reservas, and brought
back a few mid-range bottles (25-30 euros) from a visit to Haro last
weekend, as well as many Californian wines. I don't know much about
French wines and haven't drunk many recently, but enjoy most I've tried.

I don't know the upper cost limit on the wine I can choose, but let's
assume that it could be as much as UKP100 (about 150 euros).

I also imagine I wouldn't want to drink it straight away, but save it to
open in two, maybe four, years.

Can anyone suggest wines from 1989 that would fit the bill?
