March 21, 2023 - @ Sixty Three Clinton NYC. Perfect bottle condition. Paler than I expected given the age. What will stick with me is the insane length of finish - 90 seconds plus. At first white steely and Chevalier-like, the honeysuckle florals came through with some oxygen and warming up towards room temperature, eventually revealing the characteristic beeswax honeyed fatty Batard innards. This was a really intellectual bottle - a privilege to experience.

July 11, 2020 - 02823. Buttery, honey wax nose. Palate is full of acid but thin. 92

July 12, 2019 - Unfortunately, this bottle of Leflaive Bienvenue Batard Montrachet 2009 from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s cellar is premixed. Still drinkable but clearly maturing faster than it should and showing chatacteristics of late 90s white Burgundy. Ripe orchard fruits, glossy lemon extract, maturing dialdehyde and hints of mushroom. Good weight with high alcohol on the finish. A shame as the last bottle I had last year was fresh and delicious. (88/100)

May 24, 2019 - Peaches, apricot, lemon, hints of lily and anise; smooth, extremely rich and succulent, showing some age and development, long gliding seamless finish; excellent but not profound

March 29, 2019 - Clos Vougeot Lunch (Paradise Valley, AZ USA): Served blind. Crisp, young, full and round in the mouth but not much length. Perhaps holding in reserve. In the end, the two Meursault 1er's were more memorable today.
