Chambertin--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Leroy
"This black-colored wine offers powerful aromas of Asian spices, cloves, juniper berries, and licorice soaked in blackberry and blueberry syrups. A huge, chewy, and formidably-extracted wine, it possesses the unlikely combination of freshness, delicacy, and definition, with sur-maturite, viscosity, and massive concentration. Obviously a strong candidate for a perfect rating, this stunning wine regales with its cascade of cassis, red currants, cherries, and plums, as well as compelling depth and length." Pierre-Antoine Rovani, The Wine Advocate, Issue 118, 8/31/98
