Sunday, November 29, 2009 - I'm reserving a score until such time as I taste my other bottle of this but, as a huge Leroy fan, this was a tremendous disappointment. Not bad, just a disappointment. Slightly opaque, dark red. Nose of cherries and buttered popcorn but also some moldy blue cheese.
The palate is tart, leathery and tannic. Just not showing much and what it is showing isn't all that nice. Let's see what happens with the next bottle.
