In no particular order:
Ridge Monte Bello 1992, outrageous vintage and just starting to hit it's prime, hasn't crossed into a thousand dollar pricetag (yet)
Bruno Giacosa Falleto Riserva, try to get one from the late eighties or late nineties if you can, the early nineties were pretty weak but he's still probably the king of barolo
2005 Chateau Pavie, I've had two bottles and both have been astounding. A lot of people said the 2005s were overrated but I disagree
2007 Guigal La (insert vineyard here), any of them. Probably the best year they've ever had. If you're looking for value, the 2007 Clos de Pape is also incredible and still can be found around 200 bucks. It's close to peak but will develop further
2005 Clos Erasmus, geniunely a perfect wine top to bottom. Needs a 4 hour decant but etherial and endless as far as priorat goes
If you can find it, Giuseppi Quintarelli's Alzero is absolute insanity, I had a 2007 and a 1993 recently that were both fully alive and explosive. It does lean a little porty since it's cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot done in an amarone style, but the residual sugar is still technically dry
If you want rustic, Cos D'Estournel's 86 and 89 are still pretty affordable and fully developed, though the 89 is starting to decline slightly. I've had more mixed luck with the 86 Rothschild funnily enough, but it is a much more muscular wine and still hasn't reached maturity
