Leflaive signature of sesame, salinity and curry leaf hits first followed by lime zest, jasmine, butterscotch and apricots on the palate - with a touch of manuka honey and caramelised peaches. Fantastic concentration and density with acidity suggesting that this came from a higher altitude plot like Pucelles/Chevalier. A touch advanced for 08 but not premoxed and a joy to drink.

Great bottle. Age appropriate. Love the pucelles nose and creamy mouth feel. A little ripe but just right for a 14 year old wine. Fourth bottle from this case and no signs of premox. No decant necessary. Coravined overnight and was perfect day two.

Oxed... very disappointing. I believe 10 to 12 years is maximum waiting, without risks... then again, I am not sure.
