  July 29, 2006 - Dinner at Steve's; 7/28/2006-7/29/2006 (On the deck...): Being a 1996 I was worried abut oxidation... none of that here. Limpid, light yellow tinged faintly with green. There are hints of the typical Leflaive lemony cream notes, but they are in the background. for about 20 minutes then become a bit more prominent., however this isn't a rich wine, more a wine made intresting by it's raciness and aromatics.
  
  The acids here are very prominent, almost too much so... floral hints came out with more air and the wine did flesh out, but this is relatively lean for a P-M 1er cru. The youthful flavors are receding - hopefully the fruit is in the process of becoming secondary aromas and flavors. Good now. Hopefully better as it gets into maturity.
  
  Drink Next: 2011.
