Lot #420. Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet 1996

Description: Consists of 8 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95-97 WA.
"1996 is particularly successful for Batard-Montrachet. Leflaive's explodes from the glass with highly-expressive mineral, hazelnut and toasty oak aromas. On the palate, this full-bodied, silky and awesomely rich wine has highly-delineated yet fat and layered waves of white fruits, stones and spices. Brawny yet feminine, powerful yet elegant, this gem is a tour de force!" Wine Advocate #115, Feb 1998
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
Notes: 2cm or better, light adhesive residue on 6 capsules, 3 lightly torn, 2 damp stained, and 6 lightly scuffed labels, 1 sign of slight past seepage, 2 different importers.
