Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 22, 2021 - Well...not wanting to risk this bottle in a tasting with friends, and definitely not wanting to screw someone over by selling it...decided to pop the cork on a tues, with the wife away, just me and Leflaive hangin out...and hopefully enjoying the bottle to the end. 06 not a fav White Burgundy vintage for me, lot of flab and ripeness...and a very much maligned one for Leflaive, at the height of their POX woes. But there is always hope...and some people have had great experiences with this wine. Here it goes...not a good start as the cork breaks in half...smells of apple juice...shit...let sit for an hour...first pour...little dark, but not too so...smells of apple juice, yet a lemon brightness and chalky limestone...ok ok...taste...FRIGGIN OXED! Just can't get around it...baked apples in vinegar...and a kick in the nuts while you are down...it's edgy and harsh as well...and sugarfied with sweetness AND an alc burn! What a hot mess here...shame! To my friends, Winebid buyers, wife...who didn't have to try this wine...you're WELCOME!
And to DOMAINE LEFLAIVE...all those thousands of bottles you reconditioned because you KNEW you had a problem...I want a sound replacement bottle...or at least my money back! The least you could do! Hit me up...
