June 2, 2023 - An amazing wine that will be difficult to be bettered. This bottle was recorked at Leflaive last year from their remaining collection. So it has been checked and the new cork is made out Diam.
To taste a Leflaive at its peak condition is a privilege. Very golden reflecting its aged. A magical bouquet consisting apple, stone fruits, seashell and beeswax. The body is taunt but yet supple and light, never did it feel heavy. Honey, notes of white flowers all accentuated leading to an explosions of flavours at the finish, including creaminess and quince. Quite memorable.
Drink now to 2030 but not sure it will get much better. -

November 27, 2021 - Really outstanding, with wonderful remaining structure and intense extraction. I was very happy that this one did not suffer from premox like so many other Leflaive wines of this period. Wish I had more.
