Sunday, November 6, 2016 - The "Clos" dinner - aka Burgundies from Clos, or "walled" plots (Bar-a-Thym, Singapore): Young, fresh and primary - this did not feel like a Bourgogne approaching its 20th year. The nose grabbed you immediately, with raspberry ripple and other sweet, almost bubblegummy red fruited aromas, all this lined with some of Leroy's herby accent. Very similar profile on the palate, maybe shading towards strawberries, and more of those herb and spice notes. There was still lots of acidity on it, which gave wine a very clean, clear feel. A tad sweet and simple overall, but still a lot to enjoy here.
