Birthday magnum! What a beautiful, silky smooth, darkly fruity punch in the mouth. A little smoky, a little tart, but mostly just silky smooth. — a month ago

A beauty. Needs a decant prior to consumption. A more linear style. Not fat and rich like Bonneau du Martray. — 7 months ago

Smooth, soft tannins, something that could still sit for another few years or consumed now with a great smile. — 2 years ago

Выпито 17.01.21 в той же компании. Самый старый зинфандель - 2007 год, выпитый мной. Куплен в Вильнюсе у Арунаса. Достаточно крепкое 14,1%, чувствуются дубовые танины. Очень необычное. — 4 years ago

A punchy nose with struck match, honeyed lime. Stone and flint. Rick and great acidity subtly laced throughout. Excellent — 2 months ago

Added to my previous note 41 weeks ago in October 2023. A bit too expensive at $465 for what it is. Garrigue. — 3 months ago

Medium gold in color, slightly darker than the 86 Bonneau du Martray next to it. Heavy in the glass. Sweet floral nose. Notes of sweet kiwi fruit, lemon curd, apple cider and white acacia flowers. Lacked acidity at first but with many hours of air this powered up. Last sip was the best. I preferred the other whites to this, but was happy to see this improve so much during the evening. We discussed this being Vincent Leflaive’s last vintage, and sadly this was the last bottle in my cellar of 86 Leflaive. (Bday 4 of 12) — 3 years ago

Surprisingly good fruit and balanced tannins in 2024 for the 2018 vintage. Substantially better than when drunk two years earlier. $24. — 2 months ago

Great lunch. The coche’s were subserb, the bonneau was limit. — 2 months ago

9.2

Great perfume. Strong burn, bit “alcoholic” in the middle yet with a great finale that really shows hints of the other more renowned cuvées. Less animality than expected. — 9 months ago
