Old White Burgundy at Wine Watch (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): Very well preserved Leflaive Premier Cru at almost a quarter century. Light gold. Pungent and funky. Concentrated and distinctive. Very Chassagne in profile even though it is Puligny. I liked it more than K and most of the others though.

Direct from the Domaine and shockingly good. Fresh, and deep, with a beautiful texture of crushed fruit and subtle minerals. Deeper blood orange and stone fruit tones mingle with a still fresh lemon cream.

Medium golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of mature & developed ripe fruit aromas of apples & citrus notes of lemons & limes, with buttery/butterscotch/caramel overtones, some floral notes of honeysuckle, stony/minerals, toasty oak & a hint of almonds. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, mature & developed, unctuous, ripe fruit flavors of apples, peaches, lemons & limes with stony/minerals, buttery & a touch of toasted oak. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & is at or past its peak of development depending on storage conditions, so drink up soon.

Surprisingly young and fresh, razor sharp and super aromatic. Very impressive at 25 years!

A quite flat bottle. Hints of dry citrus and a bit of oyster shell, but fading acidity.
