Sweet and seductive nose, loaded with toffee and caramel, slightly roasted, very perfumed and exotic; sweet and seductive in the front of the mouth, perfumed and quite feminine on the palate; very composed but with a forward citrus fruit set of flavors that are fresh and focused; nice acidity in the middle of the mouth, but the wine seems to dissolve a bit at the end, leaving a slightly dilute and fading echo. (19/20)

Musty and gamey at the outset, this nose seems damaged and is showing some volatile acidity in its aromas, there is sweet fruit also mixed with sour mash; much better in the mouth with soft, silky flavors, sweet fruit on the palate; but this bottle has sustained some damage and seems to be somewhat collapsed from what it seems the underlying structure should have been; even with that, this is a pretty good wine. (16/20) A better bottle was served at Ron Pohl’s birthday dinner, which was fresh and intense with strong red fruit aromas, spicy and peppery nose with a nice touch of cedar; clean fresh fruit in the mouth, this wine tastes a lot younger than its age would suggest; lots of red cherry flavors and wonderful soft but dry tannins add a touch of real class to this wine.

Perfumed and sweet nose with the characteristic floral and intensely aromatic quality of the Leroy wines, exotic and spicy aromas, rich ripe fruit; sweet and spicy in the mouth with loads of ripe black cherry flavors; intense flavors, very nicely balanced; good finish with spicy fruit on the palate; very polished and expressive.

Musty ripe aromas, lots of earthen scents, truffles, sweet black fruits; soft and rich in the mouth; nicely ripened fruit with sweetness and lushness; lots of cherry flavors; nice finish, sweet, ripe at the end with a pleasant mix of tannins; quite elegant really for this commune. (18/20)

Very ripe and rich nose, loaded with sweet black cherry juice aromas, very intense and deep, has an interesting scent of candied tangerines; sweet and ripe in the mouth, with lots of black cherry flavors; these unfortunately give way to some muscular, burly tannins that tend to dominate the mid-mouth; the wine pulls itself back from dryness, however, and presents a balanced ripe and rich texture at the end with lots of sweet fruit and cranberry flavors; impressive for this appellation. (18.5/20)

One of the rarest of wines from this commune, with only 874 bottles made; lovely sweet nose with ripe fruits, earthen spicy, barnyardy, with sour mash aromas; smooth and silky in the mouth, very unlike most Nuits; ripe red fruit and a very defined taste of stems; woody and sweet, a bit dense and coarse in the mouth, but also nicely balanced with a pleasant mix of soft tannins and smooth acidity; nice long lemony finish. (17.5/20)

Perfumed and powerful, very elegant nose, peppery and spicy aromas mixed with sweet fruit and floral scents that waft out of the glass; sweet and rich in the mouth; has the slightly woody and green flavors of stems, lots of black cherry fruit in the middle with great soft sweetness; long and perfectly pitched finish; a real class Burgundy. (18.5/20)

Barnyardy nose at first, but then opening beautifully to reveal soft and round aromas of chocolate, perfumed fruit and stewed prunes, earth; soft and sweet at the front of the mouth with an elegant and complex structure; balanced acidity and softened woody tannins give nice grip to this wine; long, sweet finish with a lingering, perfumed set of flavors that are so seductive; this is a great wine.

Sweet and very focused nose, sugared prunes, smoky and intense, with a touch of sour mash on the nose; sweet and very focused in the front of the mouth; stewed fruit, leather, but also with dry woody textures and a real acidic bite that becomes more pronounced the longer the wine is in the glass; finish is a bit hard and tough as a consequence; still an impressive wine. (17/20)
