I was thinking if it truly had been a bad year, I'd ask for something
from the year I moved to my current department ('90), or perhaps get
something from 10 years ago ('94) if that might open up my options.

Thanks Fred. As a student in 1986, not knowing anything about wine but
determined not to get the cheapest thing on the supermarket shelf, I
bought back a bottle of Paulliac from a day trip to France. My flatmate,
who worked in Harrod's wine department at the time, was quite impressed
with my selections (I remember another bottle was of Rully, and I had
three others).
