Primary notes with a very dark blackberry jam, almost sweet like a jelly donut filling. Would occasional acquire a few interesting herbal notes but basically waiting to develop complexity.

Very, very, pretty wine. Classic Gros Richebourg. Floral notes dominate the nose with primary pinot fruit and a touch of "soap store" notes. The finish is nicely long with a palate that is juicy, none of the 2005 hard tannin, but still young!

From Magnum. PNP. This reminded me of why i buy leflaive. none of the pre-mox that has killed many leflaive bottles in the past. A great blend of acidity and crushed stone with richness that hints at hazelnut. Clearly the weight of a puligny with the intensity and focus of a leflaive. I would hesitate on non-magnum format as this was at its peak in this format and I would think it would be on the downslope in 750.
