Burgundy Dinner with Gokhan and Friends (Nell's - Seattle WA): Served alongside the stunning 1990. Very advanced. Still very dense with so much concentration. This got slightly better once some must dissipated after 5-10 minutes in glass, but always seemed tired or tiring, then really fading after an hour in glass.

Drank at La Tour D'Argent Paris - This was my first bottle of Lafon's Montrachet and all I can say is now I get it it! I have no doubt this restaurant's impeccable provenance helped immensely but it was quite a remarkable wine that lasted in the glass for the entire evening. A beautiful bright yellow colour now with fruit and oak perfectly integrated for your absolute drinking pleasure. I have no idea how long this wine will continue to drink for but my suspicion is it has many years in front of it.

(Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet) Ripe, rich, fruit forward, tropical fruit and oaky palate, that could easily be mistaken for a well-made Cali Chard; medium finish
