The list that follows forms part of James Halliday’s 2020 Top 100.

“Last year seven of the 12 wines selected were priced below $100, this year there were only three. Once the $100 barrier was broken, prices for the next five rose steadily to $160 before the final quartet soared from $285 to $475. In 2019, the most expensive was $295.”
