AC last vintage front to back - so great to see this bottle again fresh and energetic. Can keep with confidence it would seem, for more evolution, also looking at other reviews.

Last of the Leflaives, an additional and generous pull from a dear friend. Slightly reductive with smoke, meyer lemons and toasted sesame on the opening. On the palate, it shows off heft and complexity with layers of yellow peaches, nashi pear, barley and dried persimmons. Linear and precise yet expansive at the same time. Probably one of the best 2013s I've had so far.

slight reduction, toasted white sesame, lemon fruit, mushroom and forest floor on nose. More lemon fruit and orchard fruit on the palette, deep and balanced, with excellent structure, long finish. 92pts

Incredibly tight and youthful. Some flinty reduction. Compact and linear, with a razor sharp mineral spine. Intense lemon fruit, great cut and detail to the finish. Needs time.

Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. Also closed, a little timid. Fresh and precise otherwise.
