Very arresting palate that saturates your senses in a weightless manner. Black tea umami and sugar sweetness were also detected in the notes. If i were to nitpick, the nose was not as sexy as i hoped it to be, but the enthralling palate made up for it. Somehow reminded me of the 99 RSV i tried 4 years ago.

This is Leroy at it's finest with such incredible intensity and vigor especially for the vintage. Huge concentration here but there is also elegance and terroir expression with dark cherry fruit and fabulous Vosne spice notes. The finish is rich and very complex with flavors of minerals, violets and dark spices. This will last for decades! Wow! 97+

More depth than 2001 Genaivrieres alongside but also touch more rigid. (181/584)

Ex-Chateau release. Classic Leroy aromatics with moderate plus structure and depth.
