I brought this. Deep medium gold color. Heavy in the glass, and even heavier in the mouth. So rich with a lot of power and acidity. Notes of lemon, tan spice, cardamom, gravel stone, light dusty earth. Long finish. Coats everything it touches. This is why you age white burgundies... delivered so much today, and a bottle in condition like this easily has another 10+ years in front of it. 96+ My favorite white of the day.

Magnificent
Nov 28th, 2020Tasted blind, from two combined bottles. Medium-ish gold but doesn’t come across as old. Notes of apricot, lemon, tangerine and a little iodine. Fat and rich in the mouth. Luscious. Balanced with lots of fruit and ample acidity. Easy to pick the vintage. Guessed 92 Batard from a producer other than Leflaive. Has more energy and excitement than the 90 Niellon Batard next to it. At peak and a delight to drink.

Sep 27th, 2020Tasted blind. From magnum. Medium gold color, with viscous weight in the glass. Notes of orchard fruits, cinnamon, peach, lemon, some stone. Rich and round in the mouth. Super ripe. Some heat. Great wine. The magnum format surely assisted with how well it showed tonight.

Mar 8th, 2020Light to medium gold. Delicate fruit forward nose. Sweet lemon fruit matched against fine grained acidity. Notes of Meyer lemon, stones, soil and apricot. Like the others next to it this grew in power and acidity with more air. Was singing late into the evening. (Bday dinner 6/13)

Complex nose. Aged but not premox. Steely, lemon, caramelized ginger. Leaner than expected.

Still tightly laced, but after a hour or so decant it began to blossom. #burgundy
