Leroy Latricieres Chambertin 1999 750mL

"Deep, bright ruby. Slightly inky aromas of black cherry, currant, roast coffee and pungent oak. Extremely primary, almost grapey, but already boasts great clarity and intensity of flavor. Powerful minerality contributes to the wine definition and grip. Offers the medium weight and compelling laciness of texture of this grand cru. Less expressive today than the Clos de la Roche but perhaps ultimately more noble. Finishes firmly tannic, with great subtle persistence. A superb early showing for this wine." - Vinous, AG94+ (ST), tasted 3/2001
