Golden. Candied oranges, raisins, a bit saline nose. The bottle was "lost" in the back of the cellar and it is a touch over the hill -- a bit of oxidation comes across as slightly stewing the fruits. Still sweet raisins, some meyer lemon, star fruit, green grapes and a hint of pineapple. Still plenty of acid to hold up to seared tuna.

Leflaive vertikal: (Blind) Steinete nese med sitrus, mild vanilje, mandler og et litt grønt preg. Hard, og noe spinkel frukt med en svakt «grønn» syre. Mangler dybde. Frisk. Grei lengde. Ox?

Herbal and funky with plenty of richness. In some vintages, the Pucelles can be as good as the grand cru, but it is not the case for 88.

Nose expressed peach, cinnamon, sesame and caramel. Palate was a bit lean but it gained intensity in the glass. A very pretty pucelles.
