The wine is clear, medium red core with thin pale rim. Developing
Nose is clean, medium intense aromas of kirch, hint of smoke, forest floor, mushrooms, liquorice root, incredible deep complexity, developing
Palate is dry, medium ripe tannins, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body and flavour intensity with aromas of kirch, sweet tobacco, forest floor, mushroom, strawberry and strawberry jam, liquorice root, hint of smoke, deeep complexity and very long finish
Very well balanced, long finish, very concentrated, intensity is well integrated with quite high acidity, complexity is deep and this needs air to shine. Keep in cellar at least 5 more years. Outstanding quality, 94p

Couleur rubis sombre avec reflets tuilés. Robe trouble. Nez très parfumé avec beaucoup de fruits, fleurs et quelques notes boisés. Pas de végétal franchement perceptible. Bouche ample, d'une grande concentration et d'une texture soyeuse. Excellent village.

Very forward and up front nose of spice, dark fruit, rhubarb and touch a wet stone. This carried through to the palate which was excellent, but the lack of depth was clear compared to the others we tasted.

After 4 years, now much better integrated, candied fruit is gone replaced with lovely Leroy floral nose, ripe cherries and lots of spices. Very ripe and good depth for a 07, not thin at all, with good length and still very young and definitely can keep for the medium term.

Cloudy ruby hue. Scented with candied cherries, violets and rhubarb. Really tight, super concentrated and chewy. Initially gave off mostly vegetal flavors, along with lamb stew. With air, sous bois emerged, with hints of small berry and floral notes. To forget for 7 years.

Performed infanticide on this bottle. Nose filled with candied fruit, bubble gum, game, anise throughout the whole evening, lots of fruit and not a hint of Leroy's floral nose yet, medium body and the fruit is ripe and well balanced. The energy is there and potential is good.

Clearly Leroy, framed in ultra fine wood. The vosne character of highly lifted and perfumed wine channeled in the Lalou mold. Silky and delicious.

Like the bachelet drunk alongside it, in need of serious cellar time. Not giving much at all right now, which surprised me.
