  Decanted for 3 hours, served blind I guessed 90 Batard from Leflaive. Deep yellow/ touch of gold color. Beautiful nose, mature, ripe with impressive flint/struck match aromas to complement the lemon spice, vanilla and dried fruit elements. The palate has a richness and power without weight that is impressive, concentrated lemon and dried fruit flavors that coat the mouth and deliver a long finish.

  From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The high- intensity nose showed citrus, toasted vanilla, minerals, and white flowers.
  
  This was rich and ripe in the mouth and got better and better in the glass despite being open several hours prior to the tasting. It had great acidity and length.
  
  The slightly elevated oak seemed to die down and the wine developed a lime note after being open for 7 hours. It may have reached 96 territory but I will hold it at 95.

  The bottle was in outstanding condition and the wine looked perfect, bright yellow with some gold. The nose was muted for several hours and the favors were nice but nothing spectacular. It took a full five hours for this wine to slowly build to its peak! At that point the nose had developed to show apples, pear, and citrus with a white limestone complexity that was captivating.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was quite dramatic and complex with spectacular length. I would bet that, most of the time, this wine has been consumed before it was showing its best. Top notch.
