Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Bright, energetic, and taut with plenty of orchard fruit, very good for Village level wine, but somewhat simple.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Citrus and citrus peel with good weight and impeccable balance.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Ripe red and black berries with a floral flourish. Saline Chambolle textures throughout with a firm finish for now.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Bright and elegant, this is surprisingly accessible with lots of floral and spice notes to start, then lots of bright red fruit with vibrant textures. Good young.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Not as aromatically forthcoming as expected, but well spiced on palate with earth and mature red cherry. Certainly good, but not at the typical Leroy level of excellence.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Perfumed nose demanded your attention. Rich enough flavors with excellent density, combined nicely with best elements of the earthy elegance of the 2013 vintage.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Complex red and black fruit on nose and palate with lots going on. Still slightly firm and nearly awkward, but you can see this is going somewhere beautiful. Perhaps 92 points today, this could have used more air, and 93-94+ point potential.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Magnum from the Château. Wonderful nose of a great aged Bordeaux, then less harmonious on palate, while still nicely tasty. Others enjoyed this more.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Savory and sweet spice with charming black fruit and sneaky good weight and length. Great balance, very good already now.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Alluring aromas but firm palate giving little pleasure at present.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. So much here, so much potential with lots of dark fruits, more than typical for great Barolo. Lots of potential, this is close to entering its first phase of approachability and enjoyment. Certainly 92-94 point potential.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Not powerful or flashy, but so complex, layered, and harmonious. My preferred style of Barolo. Will easily drink well for another decade+.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Tasted 10-15 minutes after popped-and-poured. Enchanting aromas, the best of aged and enticing Bordeaux. Good flavors, less exciting but still beguiling. This was 92 points for me, but I'm told this put on weight and picked up intensity with more air.

From 3L. Black and red cherry with spice and earth hints, wonderful balance.

Alongside the 1989, both wonderful, I think this 1990 was ever-so-slightly better with greater balance, even if less power.

Alongside the 1990, both wonderful, I think this 1989 was an ever-so-slight step behind the 1990. Despite it being more powerful, it didn't have quite the same balance.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Good richness to start with plenty of brightness middle through finish. This will hold well for a while going forward. I think this was the 1st vintage.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Very Vosne-charactered with red fruit and Asian five spice. Good weight and depth, just not at the same level of this wine in its best vintages.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. From magnum. Rich and robust, showing vintage ripeness and its typical Vosne styling. Upside from here, as this still seems to need to shed some baby fat.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Bright and wonderfully balanced with the sense of style typical of the best Méo-Camuzet wines. In its peak drinking window. Lots of nuance and finesse.

Opened and decanted a few hours before tasting. Clearly ripe, starting to mature and soften. I would have expected more nuance from Chambertin at this stage, but still very tasty.

Something was slightly off and muted here, was it ever-so-slightly corked?

Magnum, Perhaps slightly corked.

Walk around tasting, brief note from memory. Black fruit and meat are getting tired. Not nearly as interesting as a few bottles from a couple of years ago.

Double decanted a few hours in advance. Very rich while wonderfully balanced layered cherry with a complex spice box. Unlike vintage Unico, I find Especial has the same profile but is this accessible much sooner.
