Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2020

the 2014 Proprietary Red IX Estate is an old-fashioned Médoc blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon

There is almost painful intensity to the super-sleek big-bodied flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel due to a mid-palate that brims with sappy dry extract that coats the mouth on the hugely long and impeccably well-balanced finale

black cherry

they're certainly in the way

an aroma of pen ink

rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier

This is a wine of profound elegance and grace

Otherwise the succulent and opulent massively-scaled flavors possess seemingly endless reserves of dry extract that make the mid-palate and finish of this very firmly structured and almost painfully intense effort appear almost pliant

There is more than enough freshness and verve to support many years of fine drinking

or those white soils

precise and driving medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a moderately austere and gorgeously sustained finale

This concentrated effort is very Chambolle in basic character
