1997 Leroy Pommard Les Vignots

6 Nov 2012: Bright cherry ruby hue. An elegantly rustic nose of sweet raspberry, dried rose petals, sweet leather, farmyard, mushroom and nutmeg, infiltrated with purity and pedigree. The silky texture belies some astringent tannin, and a good level of acidity keeping the structure intact and poised. Slightly drying finish. There is a feeling of harmony and a very well-defined sense of place, a true expression of the terroir. A very admirable effort for a well-aged village level Pommard, drinking remarkably well, given its age and vintage. Just wish I could be having this every day! 17.5/20
