  February 25, 2024 - Tasted blind, this wine had a deep purple/red center and puce rims. The high- intensity nose put forth notes of cola, violets, minerals, and plums.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was gorgeously balanced with loads of fruit, rounded tannin, firm acidity, and excellent length.
  
  This was a stunning bottle that was obviously still too young to show all its majesty. It is a shoe-in to pick up a couple points in 10 years. Could it be perfect?

  April 24, 2021 - This is probably my favourite wine of the night out of some outrageous ‘99s including Leroy Chambertin. I am starting to get a better handle on RSV’s racy, flashy, floral, and highly showy character and I think this bottle demonstrates how well this vineyard works with Leroy’s lush and opulent style. This wine is in your face but is elegant, super floral and perfumed, and extremely beautiful all around. Palate is lush and intense but never overwhelming. This renders a ’99 DRC RSV alongside quiet (contextually). A perfect matchup between producer and site here, and the vintage is working out ideally as well. Harmonized. Terrific and really renewing my excitement for Leroy. [1222/2937]

  June 4, 2020 - Aromatics less explosive than usual. Michael said is this de-stemmed, maybe Rousseau? That says something. Robust palate, but in context where almost everything I drank felt a bit heavy and unbalance tonight. (1412/2937)

  September 5, 2019 - Acker 2019/09; 9/5/2019-9/7/2019 (Le Bernardin Prive, Marea): 0315/2937. Really great funky Leroy nose but so much depth enchanted with dark fruit and meat. Mellow, linear and structured. 96

  May 4, 2019 - 1999 DRC Horizontal. Smoke and stems, kaleidoscope aromatics that perhaps lacks elegance of best examples. Beast of a wine that shreds the DRC with its intensity. (146/2937)
