16 Dec 2012: We have definitely caught the 'Leroy' bug. The recent tasting of the old Maison wines was so sensational that we couldn't wait to open another bottle. 1997 Vosne-Roman
ée Les Genaivrières, Domaine Leroy. A very seductive Vosne bouquet of dried flowers, mocha, sweet leather, layered with sweet spices of cloves and coriander. The mid weight palate still showed plenty of red fruit, with a most endearing sweet sensation endorsing the silky mouthfeel, kept afresh with a good level of acidity. Just a little astringent on the otherwise beautiful finish. The overall impression was harmony, complete with the hallmark finesse. A very stylish mature Vosne villages, a very good effor for the vintage, drinking perfectly now, and over the next 3 - 5 years. 17.5/20
