Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 2000
Côte de Beaune, Domaine Leflaive
"The 2000 Leflaive Bâtard is evolving nicely and remains a very classy drink though interestingly, there is now noticeable oak framing the otherwise elegant and very pure ripe white flower and citrus-infused aromas. And there is plenty of sappy extract and thick, almost viscous, mouth coating flavors and fine length and lasts for several minutes - in particular, the texture and mouth feel of this wine are stunning. In sum, this is a genuinely compelling effort that should benefit from a few more years in the cellar and indeed, this is sufficiently forward that it can already be approached with pleasure though it's clearly still on the way up."
