Sun served it in bottle this time, opened it 1 hour before for serving, still shy in nose but a lot of tertiary aroma coming out, mushroom, herbs, dark brick red colour, bitterness aftertaste. Classic!

Sun invited us and pair this wine for the wonderful dinner. However, he decanted this fragile old wine and we just found the subtle nose of earthy mushrooms, smooth palate, soft structure with little bitterness after taste.

WB Boys Weekend; 10/14/2021-10/17/2021 (Highlands NC): My wine, and it's a little disappointing. I bought this at release packed in straw! This was brooding, and not giving up much aromatically, and on the palate. The fruit was dark, with traces of dark soil, and really, to me, not a ton else going on, maybe a little spice and cologne. The Beauxmonts from the same mixed case was so much better!

2526/4016 Deep color intensity. Medium+ aroma of mint, leroy perfume, leather, game, medicinal herb, animal. Drinking with DRC and HJ 97 echezeaux, this Leroy is more mature. After aeration, aroma became more pronounced. more brown and green, smoke, brushwood, earth, spice. lots of green pepper.
Mouth coating palate with great concentration and broad. Rich and full body. Can feel the little grain of tannin. High acidity.

Not recognizable flaws. Not giving much aromatically with red fruit that’s tiring. (1659/4016)
