2005 Leroy Clos Vougeot Rouge
Condition:
At this very early stage, this is unusually elegant and refined with a mix of upper register red and dark berry fruit aromas redolent of warm earth, iron, anise and a hint of the sauvage that leads to rich, full and serious big-bodied flavors built like a body builder but it's not rustic or crude as the very firm tannins are completely buffered by the buckets of sève that lend a velvety quality to the stunningly complex finish. I don't wish to over use the term but like the Charmes and the Beaux Monts, this is reference standard quality and flat out great. BH
