1999 Domaine Leroy Clos Vougeot 750ml

JM97 BH96

Our host nipped out at the end of the dinner to raid his own cellar and brought back a bottle of the 1999 from Domaine Leroy. I was delighted to taste this as the bottle at our Leroy Clos Vougeot vertical in 2017 had been out of condition. This example showed a hugely rich, dense nose with a bundle of spices, alongside the undeniable opulence of the Leroy style and the vintage. Luxurious from the very start but with a crisper note creeping in with aeration. Very tasty and with astounding persistence.
