December 3, 2022 - Medium-bright yellow-gold color. Deepens slightly over period consumed (a few hours). Aromas still on the fresh side with lemon curd, some honeysuckle, pineapple, and mango. Palate is substantially more broad than last bottle sampled with mineral, lemon curd, smoke, a hint of toasted hazelnut, and mango. This is drinking in prime early maturity to my tastes and delivers the "Leflaive experience". Drink at leisure.

November 8, 2022 - It is rather sad that this wine is premoxed and shows notes of nail polish and was incredibly mature given its age.

May 7, 2022 - Not typical of Les Pucelles. Fruit notes were a bit restrained. Pleasant side is rich mineral and good acidity. Took longer than expected to open up ~2 hours. Contrary to most other comments here, it seems young and great upward potential.
