Very good fortune that this bottle was showing strikingly well throughout the evening. This was electric in all the right ways. Acid backbone with a hedonistic purity of fruit.
This stellar performance from a rather random off-vintage bottler further perpetuates my strong belief that Leflaive is purely a roll of the dice. One of the finest Leflaive bottles of 2023.

First of the case and in perfect condition. Exuberant nose with oak and reduction. Rather Meursault like. Palate is dense , compact and packed full of energy. Finish dry and feels a bit lean in relation to the rest but just needs time as opens. Drinking now but maybe a little tight on finish and should develop. Lovely

Initially I was afraid this is a little advanced for the vintage - but it actually held beautifully over a few hours. So perhaps this is really just the style that works well here.

This wine was very advanced, nutty, waxy aromas, bruised apples. Should not be for a 2011, premox strikes again with Leflaive. NR
