Dull, even ruby. Char, dark red fruit, and with air, some stemminess. Glorious texture and sappiness, which were the most appealing attributes. Otherwise, fine acidity and a mixture of black and red fruit plus citrus, which came across as correct but unexciting in its lack of complexity and dimension. It fell far short of my high expectations.

Incredible experience to get served 1990 Domaine Leroy Clos Vougeot in blind, which gave me a great opportunity to judge this highly regarded producer fairly. Juicy and dense red fruits with lifted oak spices. Great concentration with a gravel touch, almost Chambolle-esque but more stewed fruits with herbal/ medicinal (also a Vougeot character!), almost like a Clos de la Roche. Juicy earthy soil, floral lifted spices, brilliant spices and meatiness. Grand Cru Gevrey Chambertin? With my far and few between experiences of Domaine Leroy, I find them much more ethereal from 2000 vintages onwards. (93/100)

瓶醒3小时
很典型的90年代风格,枯树叶、皮革、草本香气。酱油味
集中度略差
