  September 22, 2007 - Kitchen Tasting Group Does Beaver Creek – Day Two: How do you follow a pair of La Tache? 1996 Leroy isn't a bad choice. This proved to be delicious. The nose offered an intense melange of red fruit, spice, earth, and an appealing funk that disipated somewhat with time in the glass. Really nice. I found this to be delicious stuff. Probably showing a bit more structure than fruit (typical for 1996s I've had), but delivering enough fruit to capture your attention fully. Balanced. Tannic. Great long finish. I enjoyed this fully, and even tasted it side-by-side with a small pour of the 1991 Leroy Beaux Mont later in the night. The 1996 had the edge, but both were exceptional.
