Been saving this one for a long time and uncorked it for my 25th wedding anniversary at Bazaar in DC. Worth. The. Wait. Cork came right out, and we decanted for about 20 minutes before drinking. Classic Pauillac nose of cigar box and cedar, black fruit, some red fruit, vanilla, a bit of soy, licorice and earthy spice. Healthy ruby color with slight bricking at the edge. Tannins are extremely well integrated and yet the fruit is still fresh. Powerful, yet light. The finish goes on and on, almost a minute. A great wine. Drink now or in the next couple years.

Almost orange in color, viscous, oaky, somewhat muted nose with tropical notes of pineapple discernable. Fruity, full mouthfeel, with the same tropical notes with vanilla. Long finish, quite complex, definitely on its plateau. Delicious with our fondu. Drink now.
