Bottle 2235/16200. Served in blind and I thought its a 99 or 02 Prieure Roche Beze. Sexy aromatics of stems, sweet red currants, perfume and strawberries. It had none of the 04 greenness. The palate was sweet and penetrating with good length. 92-93

04820/16200, needs air as with the rest of the vintage but what a star. Soaring red fruit perfume, lychee, hawthorn, light oak, earthy, stony, robust, meaty. Superbly detailed and complex as it folds onto itself. If I were to blind this would be a Clos Vougeot here. 94-95

(Leroy Bourgogne Rouge) Medium-pale colour - surprisingly pale considering it contains (lots of) Grand Cru juice. The nose is fantasticly penetrating and floral, eventually turning very smoky from a high percentage of stems. The palate is lithe and athletic, perhaps a little thin for the forward acidity. I really expected more intensity given the provenance of this wine. A fantastic nose, in the end it really reminded me of Dujac’s ‘95 Clos de la Roche, but for this bottle the palate has a lot of catching up to do. The nose compelled me to buy a couple of bottles but I’m still not convinced of the value.
(Domaine Leroy Bourgogne Rouge) This is the first Domaine bottled Bourgogne ever. Priced like a Leroy wine at probably around $75 ish retail. But whose Bourgogne Rouge tastes like great Grand Cru red burg. Stunning nose of spicey oak, red fruits, nuts, minerals and some exotic spices. Really aromatically complex stuff. Palate was very youthful but had pure sappy fruit and a huge midpalate. Great integration of all the parts and kickin' finish.

Spectacular nose. A little metallic on the finish this time.
