Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 1999
Côte de Beaune, Domaine Leflaive
In original carton
"The powerful aromas of honeysuckle and roasted nuts are now nuanced with a hint of petrol and what were tight, structured flavors are now beginning to unfold and open yet the same stunning purity and intensity are still present as is the near perfect acid-fruit balance. This still delivers unusually strong minerality for Bienvenues as well as fine detail, outstanding complexity and persistence. For my tastes, this is just now beginning to drink well and it should continue to do so for another decade. Note however that those who prefer well-aged flavors will be best served to wait another 2 to 3 years." BH, March 31, 2006
