  March 1, 2024 - La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Vertical. Slightly tropical, very rich. nicely tasty. This is slowly evolving in the direction of many other good 2013s - its odd bitter and sweet edges finally harmonizing. While not very complex or structured, I expect this will continue to evolve and improve over the next decade.

  mouth - rich custards/smoky attack which morphs into an elegant even sleek midpalate and long lemon rind finish. An interesting chameleon

  December 1, 2018 - Served right after the premoxed 2012, this was very young, very bright and lively, vibrant wine with a firm citrus-note and a vivid minerality; too young, certainly, but lovely nevertheless - just to bad, you have to open two bottles of Leflaive, to taste one good bottle. 92+ #SøllerødKro #Tulle&Gerry

  April 22, 2018 - Popped and poured. This is a light yellow wine. On the nose, I get honeycomb, slate, fresh flowers, and wax. In the mouth, the wine is excellently balanced, with brine and pool flavors, all leaving a finish that unfolds and lingers over time. Overall, this is a good bottle of a good wine, one with energy and temperament that draws the drinker in today yet reflects the promise of better things to come. 93 points.
