95 Point or Higher Tasting - What would you take?

The local wine shop has decided to get a tasting group together by setting an entry fee of a bottle of wine that scored 95 or better. Putting aside the discrimination and point hunting aspects of this, what wine would you bring to such an event?
The advert is given below.
95 Points or Higher Tasting, July 15th, 6:30-8:00PM
"This will be something new! Many people have been asking for a tasting group to get together and try great wines, so we thought we would get one started. Once we are together, we will try all the wines and critique and comment on each. I would hope we could then set dates, times and themes for future tastings! Entry Fee: One bottle rated 95 or higher by Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, or Stephen Tanzer."

Kay Brothers Shiraz Block 6 (96-98) 2001
big big big, but balanced and very impressive wine?

Don't know about the '97 (didn't buy it), but the '96 Greenock Creek CS (94 pts, RMP) was DOA by 2002.
