97 Trapet Chambertin - had very low expectations given a less than stellar vintage but once open it was alive and has the masculinity yes still lingering primary characteristics. Very long finish too which took me by surprise. Very extracted

91 Lafite - you would expect it to be dead given the poor vintage however it wasn’t and far from it. Granted it lacked density but it gave the typical left bank characteristic amid in milder dosages.
