milk chocolate and rose petal

This is unusually powerful compared to what is typical for Echézeaux though it is not particularly complex but the underlying material is here such that it is reasonable that more will develop and my rating assumes that it will

black cherry preserves and stewed plums plus a savory undercurrent of grilled meats

pure and nicely intense middle weight flavors that are supported by equally ripe structural elements on the long and balanced finish

Eighty percent of the wine spent a year in new oak barrels

Domaine Leroy, Nuits Saint Georges Vignerondes Vintage:2005 milk chocolate and rose petal(from a . 35 ha parcel). A more elegant and exuberantly fresh nose combines notes of cherry and dark currant with those of plum, lavender and violet. The middle weight flavors exude a really beguiling inner mouth perfume and flashing a plenitude of minerality on the focused and almost painfully intense bitter cherry pit infused finish that leaves no doubt that this beauty is built to age for the long to even very long term. This is terrific. 94 2030+
