Leflaive Olivier

2008 Leflaive Olivier Corton-Charlemagne

This nose shows ripe fruit that has by far the most obvious toasty oak influence – it’s faintly creamy too. Lots of flavour and interest here. Seems pretty focused all the way through and shows intensity right into the finish – at last. The best Charlemagne today if you like the oak aromas.

Plenty of oak on the nose, but it’s a long way from being too much. I find a little petillance which perhaps drives the good dimensions of flavour – though it’s mainly oak-influenced flavour. After the last wine, I can only say ‘almost good’.
