Too early!! Huge wine, decadent nose of red fruits and chocolate. Very long finish but quite tannic, needs more time for the alcohol to integrate better with the wine. Started showing very well after 6 hours, 3 of which in a decanter. This will be a legendary wine in 3-5 years... Might merit a 98-100 score

Unbelievable wine. I left the bottle standing for three days at room temperature and served straight from the bottle allowing the first glass to breathe for 30 mins Full bodied but you could not guess it is 15.8 % alcohol... Rich like a Guigal La Mouline, very long finish, impeccable structure. It sounds sacrilegious but only Domaine Leroy has given me such pleasure

Needs time in the glass to develop, but it is a beautiful wine. Good acidity without a hint of heaviness or excess alcohol
