Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 23, 2009 - Light ruby / rose color to pink at rim. Deep black and red summer berry nose – strawberries and black raspberries – framed by a deep and satisfying (and not at all green) earthiness and a hint of coffee. In fact, this shows perfect fruit maturity – almost deep fruit flavors. A lovely flavor burst on entry that is followed up by a rich (for the vintage), full and explosive flavor profile all wrapped in a medium to light bodied package. Save the slightest hint of greenness on the finish (and I mean slight), I never would place this as an ’04. Still, along with the great wines of Leroy, this very well may be one of my favorites of the vintage. First recent bottle from this producer and I just love it. Drinking well today and for 10 more years. (92)
