Nose: strawberry, red fruits, rose petals, black tea, spices, hints of smoke Notes: Drank after opening for 90 minutes. Domaine Leroy's signature nose is always explosive and extremely inviting, one would find it hard to resist the red fruits tangled with rose petals along with some darker notes such as black tea. The house style is quite apparent. This Genaivrieres is drinking very well now and the wine is fully mature, I don't think this will get any better with time. However, I would comment that most of the time Leroy wines perform better on the nose than the palate, this wine is no exception. Drink: now+ Rating: 93

It would have been a 100 had the mouth be as impressive as the nose. Overall a killer wine. Evanescent essence of Pinot Noir. I can't believe this is "just a Village". But rules are different at Domaine Leroy...

Explosive floral, stem-driven aromatics. Nice sweetness and balance on the palate as well. Quite the village... (400/2630)

Last bottle of a good long run, and also Agnezi's last day. This was her vintage. A toast to a great loving cat!
