  Still drinking well - after 3 hours in the bottle was not only not fading but seemed to have even more to offer. February 2021

  My Birthday lunch at Les Amis. Third red of the afternoon. The appearance was just ridiculous. A village, 26 years young, but deep bright red, no hint of bricking, and looking even younger than either the Dujac or the Rousseau. The aromatics of this wine was quite incredible (until the appearance of the Jacky Truchot Charmes). Instantly identified as the Leroy, this had intensely perfurmed red flowers, rose petals, wild blueberries, ripe strawberries, blackcurrants, with a touch of spice and oak, almost Vosne like. Very primary, and as many would say "more House style than terroir", there was a definite sign of rusticity and earthiness, but the intense fruit profile overshadowed that (in a good way). The palate was extremely fresh, vibrant and pure, and almost a fruit hamper combination of plums, strawberries, red kiwis, pomegranate, orange peel, surrounded by rose petals and chocolate. There is really no way a village wine can be made that ridiculously well! Marvellous!

  Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Tru - Chicago IL): Started slightly funky, slightly reduced, so we decided to decant. Much better after 20 minutes, showing fresh black fruit slight very primary with the awkward youthful exuberance of a 24 year old. Oddly this ended with a slightly murky finish that made this come across as an imperfect bottle. Not quite as enjoyable as another bottle of this wine (probably from the same source) tasted earlier this year.

  Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Tru - Chicago IL): Absolutely delicious and fun, this shows lots of mostly black fruit, very lush and slightly sweet. Unmistakably Leroy spice, particularly aromatically. This is a very fun, fruit-driven wine, slightly light on the acidity, minerality or tannins that would make me think it from NSG.

  HDH auction tasting at Tru; 3/21/2014-3/22/2014 (Chicago, IL): Bright in colour and hardly showing its age in appearance at all. Juicy and ripe fruit on the nose belies its 24 years. On the back end of it all is the characteristic perfume of all Madame's wines. The palate is gently sweet but ripe sour pie cherry notes dominate. Soft and velvety tannins. Tons of acidity to handle the ripe fruit... if only all Burgundy tasted like this...
