Alvin Blind. Slight nuttiness and reduction that reminded me of Leflaive and not quite grand cru palate intensity leading to Pucelles. Correctly guessed.

The 1982 Domaine Leflaive Pucelles is a majestic bottle of 1er cru Puligny, bursting from the glass with aromas of pastry cream, buttered apple, peach and (if it isn't too fanciful) sea breeze. On the palate, the wine is at peak maturity, with a beautiful glossy texture and grand cru depth and intensity. A testament to the wonders of bottle age.

Took a while to come around but turned out to be a pretty nice drink. This is not for those who prefer their white burgs young and vibrant.
