  September 29, 2019 - 1996 Burgundy Retrospective - The Last Session (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Perfectly mature nose displaying rich concentrated black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, caramel, sous bois, rose, ash, cinnamon, Vosne spice, black truffle, tree bark and earth. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of sweet black fruit, rich and deeply toned but also beautifully detailed and precise, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, slightly coarse tannins and a seamless long sweet black fruit driven finish with a hint of Vosne spice at the end. Drinking beautifully.

  August 23, 2019 - Jayer disciples. Super stemmy, exuberant aromatics. Incredible polish, sweetness on palate. That is pure Leroy decadence. Correctly guessed! (326/2630)

  June 28, 2019 - It's not a fancy aroma
  Restrained and a little Unfolding
  Deep and Layered
  Sweet and Sappy Red, Dark berry
  Violet, Rose petal, Mint(Stem)
  Licorice, Spices, Integrated Oak, some Smoke
  Iodine like mineral
  
  Rich, Structured, Powerful Stony Mineral
  Well Balanced, Velvety texture
  Intense, Sappy and Long Finish
  Definitely Great Vosne Grand Cru
  Only nit is a little dry and edgy tannin
  I think it's because still young.
  If it matures and tannins soften, it will show much more pleasure in your mouth. Finish will be longer.
  
  Given the current price,
  it's better to wait longer before drinking it.

  February 2, 2019 - Sometimes we have a night with an extraordinary wine and this was last night. Cork was semi saturated but came out cleanly with an Ah-So. Light ruby and the nose started to open immediately. Decided against a decant and left it open for one hour. Translucent and drank very well right from the start. It was like a bowl of roses, extremely elegant and the finish seemed like it went on for 60 seconds. As fine a bottle of burgundy as I have ever had. Purchased three at release in 1998. Opened the first one two years ago at age 20 and it was disappointing, good drink but a bit off. Still have one left. This wine seems fully mature to me but definitely not over the hill. I would drink now.
