  By far the best 85 Chevy among the three bottles I had from different source. So fresh and vibrant with a sexy nose full of chrysantheum, grilled hazelnut, and cream soda.

  Eager to try this shortly after the previous bottle from another batch. Again, the condition is impeccable. Similar to previous note, no fireworks. It is on the edge of becoming flabby. Apparently thats the case for many 85s white.

  In perfect provenance with perfect colour. Nose exhibits botrytis, corn, peach and nuts. Palate is much better than the nose with layered and long finish. It has very good complexity. But it falls below my expectation as 85 Leflaive is supposed to be epic.

  Cheesy/Sour milk nose. DNPIM.

  Ever so youthful and vibrant, notably in colour; timeless; spectacular; perfect ripeness, poise and precision; beguiling, this wine just kept giving and giving - a smorgasbord of subtle but luxe spicey and mineral nuances; a privilege to drink and as good as white burgundy gets.
