Not blind Opened a few hours before. This time again a bit too herbal and with green notes, typical for the vintage. Some pears typical for Leclapart. I prefer L'Apotre same vintage. 90-91

not blind After one hour it opened and softened. Drank from Zalto Burgundy. The pear disappers and some aging signs of an aged BdB style evolved. Typical lovely Leclapart salinity. For the next 2-3 years. 92-93

Not blind The nose reminds my daughter to apple marmelade, for me more salted almonds. It started a bit slow, too reductive. For Leclapart not a typical "problem". Normally his wines show signs of oxidation. After one hour more deepness and vibration. As always cracking acidity. 92-93

Beside the typical pear aromas, nice herbal and spicy notes. More precise than the last bottles with a great salinity and nice acidity structure. Not too oxidative. I’m still a fan. 91

At his peak, not that much pear as usually. Not oxidative. Some fruits and green apple. Balanced. More wine than champagne. 92
