Tasting note
Full ruby. Great soil-inflected nose combines spicy black fruits, licorice, iron and earth. Sharply delineated and stylish, with juicy, racy red berry flavors, powerful but fine tannins and superb persistence. Classic and powerfully structured. Offers considerably less volume than the '98 Leroy Clos de la Roche but conveys equally distinctive terroir character
Score: 94
