March 25, 2021 - Quite funky on the nose initially, with some metallic notes. A few hours later with some air, it is absolutely singing. Lovely ripeness and purity on the nose, amazing mouthfeel, weight and balance with a core of fresh acidity. Monumental wine.

December 20, 2019 - Holiday Burgundy Lunch (Scottsdale, AZ): Served blind, I guessed '90 Leroy though I wasn't sure about the vineyard. This has tremendous class and regal bearing, as one would expect. What was especially noteworthy about this wine was the carrythrough from start to finish -- aroma, attack, midpalate, and finish were seamless. So harmonious, with classic Leroy aromatics, this is both delicious and intellectual. Enjoy now, but no rush this has many years ahead of it.

June 26, 2018 - Less than perfect nose, better palate with rich red fruit and good acid spine. 92-93

October 4, 2017 - NM DRC v L RSV R dinner. Smells like a savory old Burgundy and slight smokiness carried. Much better bottle earlier this year. (48/2044)

January 20, 2017 - 99W/91R. Single blind with 91 DRC RSV. Truly great, 3/3 against DRC. Crystalline, deep purple color. Super stemmy, sweet nose. Real presence across dark cherry palate. Powerful wine. Evolved into great nail polish nose. (1717/2044)
