Needs 30 minutes of air to freshen up, as it is generally the case with old wines. Fat, rich, classic, big and creamy, not the most chiseled Leflaive but an excellent and elegant interpretation of the vintage. Still not convinced it is grand cru tho... it is just a superb premier cru, this structure of which is more evident with age. 93

Leflaive vertikal: (Blind) Klar, gyllen gul. Generøs, søt nese med nøtter, sitronolje, mandel, fersken og mild harpiks. Varm og bred frukt med moderat sødme og god fylde. Hint av rosin. Avdempet syre. Fin lengde.

Beautiful mineral, limestone nose. The palate is inviting and has a beautiful delicacy to it. Some roasted pralines, touch of tobacco all framed inside a medium body.

Started off waxy becomes fresher with air. Really pure fruit, round with rough acitidy to support it, long finish
