1999 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Garennes

leflaive_pulignyAmazing bronzing golden color. On the nose, developed, medium intensity, stones, every kind you can imagine, gun flint, almonds, hazelnuts, stewed apples, wood spice, some oak, loaded with earth. On the palate, dry, medium intensity, medium body, crushed stones, straw, bread, toasted nuts, seamless integration, some fruit left but not much, medium+ acidity, with a long finish. Arguably past it’s prime, but still a good bottle of wine.
