  Surprised to see some bricking, but the wine was sound. Showing secondary development already, a lovely mix of forest floor, spice, and berry. Given the development I would probably drink these over the next 3-5 years.

  起头微微有些动物皮毛、皮革和螺蛳粉的气味，随后是饱满的黑樱桃、黑莓等黑果香，还带着些红果和阿尔卑斯黑莓糖的甜香。些许干花，后段桶味比较明显，甘草，香草奶油和些许烟草，整体比较丰满。入口酒体中上，丹宁有颗粒感，主要在舌中集中成线，周遭有点寡，整体结构比较平面。果味比较集中丰富，黑果中带红果，中后段桶味，香料等等。89～90/100

  Beautiful and impeccably well-made, this is juicy and ripe but in an impeccably balanced middleweight package. This will certainly age -- it has fine tannins and structure -- but it's a fun wine now. Leroux is one to watch.

  Really a beautiful wine. I love volnay and I love LeRoux’s style. Beautiful ruby red colour. Light to medium body with medium acidity. Silky texture but a little thin/weak on mouthfeel. Candied cherries, baking spices and spring flowers on the nose. Continue with bright sweet cherry, raspberry and a hint of forest floor (pine). So enjoyable. Easy drinking but finish wasn’t lengthy which reduced the score a bit. Highly recommended.
