A dazzlingly complex nose that is, remarkably enough, still relatively youthful in the context of the vintage though there are ample secondary and tertiary nuances present and leads to big, rich, ripe, deep and expansive flavors that still display a bit of tannin on the exquisitely long finish. This is a wonderful, fully mature and velvety wine that is holding impeccably well. Tasted several times with consistent notes except one bottle that seemed much more advanced than the others; note that there have been multiple releases of this wine from the Maison Leroy cellars and thus maturity levels can vary widely.
