Wow!! Incredible nose of spice and lovely red, black and blue fruit. Sweet and amazingly soft and open in the mouth. Outstanding energy and length. Perhaps this will not live as long as the 2001 we had next to it, but this was so delicious right now and I expect to hold for a very long time. Everything you want from a Leroy experience.

Burgundy For Lunch Bunch Holiday Event 2023 (Phoenix, AZ USA): Served blind, this has absolutely gorgeous aromas of rose petals, Vosne spice, and tea - a La Tache perhaps? You could get lost in this wine, so exotic and beguiling. What a rare and wonderful privilege to drink a mature Leroy Grand Cru, this vineyard in particular always seems to mesmerize me.

Leroy Field Trip; 2/11/2022-2/14/2022: 1356/2630, breathed for three hours then splash decanted for half an hour to serve. Gorgeous bouquet of high-toned red fruit, mouthwatering acidity, flamboyant, so spicy and so pure. It is more immediately perfumed, and perhaps wider, than the Richebourg. Superb concentration, elegance without any heaviness. Early drinking vintage for Madame; further upside expected with age. 96+

Knockout floral aromatics that can go on for days, arguably prettier than Richebourg. Persistence and complexity were something to behold. A wine that had my undivided attention. 1356/2630.

(Domaine Leroy Romanée St. Vivant) Beautiful, aromatic, ripe strawberry nose; balanced strawberry palate with great acidity and firm tannins; long finish

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Awesome wine here as well. Rich, ripe with beautiful cinnamon, still enough acidity to carry it. Top like all wines in this Leroy flight. Madam is just Queen Elisabeth of Burgundy. Unmatched by anyone!
