Extremely meaty and iron infused nose along with the typical Leroy exuberance and spice. The palate matched against a backdrop of tart red fruit. This seemed quite advanced although consistent with my experience with 2000 Leroys. Quite a bit of iron. Nice, round and very long finish.

"If the wine doesn't meet your expectations - lower your expectations." My expectations exceeded what the bottle has presented and the worst part - I don't see this wine getting any better in time/space continuum.

I recall it was a stunning wine. But waited too long to record the details.
