  (Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles) A much deeper colour than the 93 bourgogne. The colour made me rush to smell - but no problems with oxidation here, only caramelised butter and hints of citrus for freshness - it was actually very nice. In the mouth it definitely needed time to unwind and I’m sure it never fully did, but the texture and impression is of density coupled to long, lingering flavours. Not much complexity today or even excitement come to that, despite all, it still made a strong impression around our table.
