Ye Paulee (Hao Noodle): Late release wax capsule. Flinty and reductive, beautiful popcorn, great acidity. Too fresh, almost, even with the sulphur and reconditioning. Easily need one or two more decades. 94-95+

Wow. Served in blind. Thought its Coche Dury. Nose is so sexy with gunflint, hazelnut and fireworks. Palate has so much freshness and intensity. More Coche than Leflaive. A wow wine and absolutely punching above all others 97 Leflaive I had.

My first bottle from an owc. All the Leflaive goodies are there with white sesame, yellow fruit, citrus and flint. While the palate shows the vintage ripeness, the acidity is more than sufficient to offset and balance the vintage character. Rich, deep and long. Drinking at its apex but likely to stay there for a while. Provenance surely matters.

With 60mins air this was very impressive. So precise and long.

Leflaive reconditioned bottle. Incredible freshness and youth. Flowery nose, mouthwatering mid palette. Very little evolution.
