March 17, 2023 - Wow! I had no idea whether this would have any life it it, but I decided to take a chance because, after all, Leroys are known to be very long-lived. At first, it seemed over the hill, with a dark, almost weak tea color. Not much nose, and what was there was stinky. On tasting, I thought it was oxidized. But we left it in the glass, and gradually the stink blew off and the wine picked up fruit. It turned out to be a nice mouthfull, with some complexity and even some fruitiness left. Certainly worth drinking, though itwould undooubtedly have been better 20 or even 10 years ago.

March 9, 2019 - From a virtually perfect looking bottle, this wine had a deep (but bright) yellow center and clear rims. The high intensity nose put forth vanilla, macaroons, lemon, brioche and minerals.
In the mouth, this wine was rich and ripe but backed by awesome acidity and fantastic length. Amazingly enough, this bottle still seemed a bit young!
This wine is just coming into the zone and will easily last 10+ more years. -

November 10, 2017 - Dinner with the St. Louis Crowd et al. (St. Louis, MO): Some of these older Leroy whites are amazing. This was one of them. The nose showed a little bit of aniseed and other dried green spices, as well as some sweetness that didn't strike me as from fruit. The palate was very similar, with a rich texture but cut with some good acidity as well. Fully mature and good to go now.
