Stunner. What burgundy should taste like. In a lineup for La Tache and RC this was the best of the bunch on the night. Touch of barnyard on the nose which blew off mostly about an hour in. Still has the trademark Leroy ripeness (especially in 09) but so much depth and elegance here. Great texture. Drink now and over the next 10-15 years. 19.

Not much to say other than the obvious…. The finest expression of red fruit, texture and delicacy in the world. If you’re lucky enough to taste the finesse of the greatest Pinot in the world, savor the moment. Though highly enjoyable, opening this at this point felt a bit like slaughtering a baby, but will be useful when tasting this again years from now. The vintage will be highly sought after for quite some time. If you have the means and access I suggest buying, though pricing increasingly becoming atrocious. 19.5++

Gorgeous cherry and liquorice on the nose. Good structure here. Deep red in color. If served blind would have guessed much younger than 93. A very good showing here, but be curious to revisit in 5 years. Perfect combo with any red wine based meet sauce. 18/20
