  Epic 04 Night-
  
  Rousseau Chambertin- Very pretty upfront. Beautifully pitched nose of sweet berry, underbrush, earth, very well layered. A touch of green but not off putting. Palate is more structured then the Leroy but not as big as the RSV. Drinking great now. Hints of green on the palate but overall great balance. The bottle had character.
  
  DRC RSV- Darkest and spiciest of the 4. No perceptible green on the nose or palate. The youngest tasting and most structured. Ever changing flavor profile of layered dark berries, spice, and floral. More regal than the Rousseau and delicious but not quite as open.
  
  Leroy Vosne- Explosive ethereal Leroy nose of sweet berry, spice, and earth. I've had the fortune to follow this since release and the nose is always so distinctive. Such heady perfume. Lightest wine in appearance and palate. This had some astringency on the end that stood out. I've found some bottle variation on these.
  
  Vogue Moose- Opened late in the tasting and probably suffered as a result. Greenest of the bottles. Good length, good flavor impact, but definitely overshadowed by the others.
  
  BDM CC- POXED

  Incredibly expressive on the nose with very tart red fruit, iron and notes of pickle juice. This all rounded out over about three hours, but the palate was excruciatingly tart. Incredible spice and great texture and balance but again, just overwhelmingly tart. I’ve had better bottles of this wine.

  Azura. Stem floral aromatics, touch of coffee bean. It’s still pretty good, but drying out even further versus couple years ago. Should be drunk. (9353/20405)

  Typical Leroy aromatics, but bit confusing to discern cuvee given a palate that is more Chambolle than Vosne. Good, not great. 18629/20405.

  Leroy Week; 8/24/2021-8/27/2021 (Hong Kong): Served blind, 18629/20405. As with rest of the flight, it started very Leroy, lychee, cherry, oh-so-spicy. New pours isolate some different characters, even higher & more lacy acidity, linear, drier tannins. It is Vosne but not so much more so than the rest on the nose, so we really had to rely on the palate to guess, and were all wrong. I was deciding between Chambolle and NSG, and it was hard to tell from the tannin structure that this is what happens from mixing Richebourg and a lot of village juice. Great wine, of course, but totally different from my experience where I used to like this cuvée the most. 94-95
