Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Tasted double blind. Nicely mature black fruit that seemed older than 2003 with plenty of browning on the edges. Slightly meaty while with lots of good spice. Very elegant, very well balanced, especially for the vintage. But probably best to enjoy within the next decade.

This wine is great but 1 step behinds RSV. Leroy is always the winner but not on this bloody Sunday. Anyway, it's getting better with time and finally showing an amazing of Leroy's flowers, beautiful spice and velvet sweetness.
When the acidity shows up in the ripe vintage, it's about time !! G2D ATM : Good to drink at the moment.
Wonderful wine indeed !! 96/100

(Leroy Latricières-Chambertin) Deep colour. The nose shows more than a passing resemblance to the Combottes but is more tightly wound - it does take on a more musky and heavy impression with time but never opens out to the level of that wine. Über-concentration, achingly intense in the mid-palate and super-long. Behind is (almost) hidden tannin with just an edge of grain. This is Combottes’ bigger brother, seems less mineral and focused but then that could the masking effect of the extra concentration. Leave the glass still for a while and it fills with toasty oak aromas. Very expensive, but very impressive too.
