Leroy spice superimposed on Gevrey earth and mineral tones. This is a spectacular bottle. The fruit from the 90 vintage is still deep and persistent. Secondary notes of leather, smoke and salted plum is present. A bit of black tea and menthol notes. Pairs shockingly well with smoked pork shoulder. Still quite young and still improving.

Fully mature now at age 22 and has fulfilled its expectations. Amazingly fragrant in a delicate and elegant way. Full of sweet dark cherry fruit, current and a bit of earth. Complex, weighty, alluring, excellent length and beautifully balanced.
