Jean Boillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Freimets, 2001 and Chateau Bourgneuf (Pomerol) 1990
The Volnay was wonderfully long and complex with barnyard and chocolately notes on the finish; it was quite ready to go and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I can't source any more...
The Bourgneuf was young and ever so silky and refined; remarkably youthful actually but not inaccessible. It was about $60 and more than worth it; I think the Volnay was $50...ish and worth it too.
Apologies for the squint, Leaning Tower of Pisa, picture:
