DJCV bottle. Very good albeit without reaching the stratospheric heights of other 99 Leflaive bottles (including clavoillon) I have experienced. Lacks the sesame / reduction of past bottles. This bottle was rather dark and mature without being overtly oxidative. Maintained a solid backbone of acidity and freshness throughout the evening.
Clearly an example of the mantra “there are no great wines, only great bottles.”

DJCV bottle. More lifted and ethereal / less rustic than I expected. Very elegant and resolved wine with excellent freshness. Lacking a bit of fruit.
