Leroy St. Vivant 1995 750mL

1995 Domaine Leroy St. Vivant - Wine Advocate # 118 - Aug 1998: Mme. Bize-Leroy generously served me this wine. This dark ruby/purple-colored wine displayed earthy underbrush scents upon being uncorked and then its aromas quickly took on a floral, violet, spice, and red berry-infused freshness. This hugely powerful, velvety-textured, and feminine wine is precise, gloriously focused, and has an even broader body than I remember. Its flavors explode on the palate, coating it with sweet black cherries, Asian spices, roses, blueberries, and traces of chocolate. This supremely elegant yet immensely concentrated wine requires patience - a difficult proposition given how grand it is Projected maturity: 2005-2020. Bravo
