Also represented are Dom Pérginon and Krug champagnes from the outstanding 1990, 1995 and 1996 vintages and white Burgundy from Domaine Leflaive.

Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: eleven bottom neck or better, one very top-shoulder; one very slightly damaged capsule; two slightly damaged labels otherwise excellent appearance
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: "Eventually a triumph. On decanting and for two and a half hours later, the wine was big and smoky, with ripe fruit, a rather burnt nose, and firm, grippy tannins. With time a softer, riper plum and fig fruit character arose and the smoky, burnt aromas took a backseat, along with cedary lead pencil notes. On the palate in time the tannins softened as well, providing a lush, rich, velvety drink just in time for the steak." CC, December 2009
