So this is my first tasting note. Been a lurker for a long time. Drank this with a friend and we just kept marveling at the nose blossoming. Smoke cherries, spices it was all there. It was powerful yet refined, delicious and ready to drink. Slow ox for 2 hours and but really gained in the glass over 3 hours. Perfect accompaniment to ABs beating springboks. Also a 2007 Raveneau les clos but it didn’t shine like Leroy. Is Leroy worth the money.. probably not but when it is great it is truly great

Grand Crus of Domaine d'Auvenay (The Grill): 00170/1522. Smoke, Morey! One of my favorite vintages chez Leroy and this is surprisingly more accessible than I expected. Lots of substances, fine, delicate, powerful. 95-96

Very young but beautifully populated with cherries and berries, coffee, wet stones and layers of confectionary and asian spices. This was a realy surprise for a 2002, a vintage I haven't had much luck with. Delicious!

Whoa, another champion amongst champions. UNREAL nose, dense wine, young but absolutely thrilling to drink now.
