Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 2, 2016 - Leflaive & Rousseau dinner at Jade Palace. A "mini 1999 tasting". Another outstanding wine, and had I drunk it standalone, I would have rated this higher, but I tend to like comparisons, and on this evening, it stood in the shadow of the BBM. Bright yellow, but a touch darker than the BBM. This started rather muted, but with 2 hours, it blossomed into a real beauty, which I found slightly strange as most Leflaives I've had are straight out brilliant from the word go. Kiwis, yellow watermelon, Chinese pear, peach, stone, minerals and flint. Palate was slightly austere, but very well structured. Yellow fruits, crushed rocks, burnt sugar, honey and touch of roasted nuts. Much better than the bottle I had earlier this year.
