Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 14, 2019 - DRC vs Leroy Dinner (Kheam Hock Road): Really lovely. This had a very nice nose indeed, with a twist of green bramble and herb, earth and meat, and a nice lift of red cherries, berries and crushed violets. Very Leroy, with that whole cluster character very prominent on the bouquet. Great stuff though. The palate was not quite as compelling as the 1993 Leroy RSV on the flight before, but was still really, really good. The wine layered the mouth with powerful, juicy notes of dark berries, violets and earth, all this draped with a good bit of chewy tannins and decent acidity, and then pulling away with a strong blush of Vosne spice stretching into a long finish. Strong, powerful and ripe, but with a nice sense of transparency to it nonetheless. This was very, very good, and probably has a few years more of development in its tank. Super.
