Clos de Vougeot--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits. Leroy
In original wooden case
"Lalou Bize-Leroy's dark-colored 1996 Clos de Vougeot is a stupendous wine from this famed yet often disappointing grand cru. Its intensely
spicy and black cherry-laced nose gives way to a massive, profound,
hugely concentrated, beautifully extracted, and explosive character.
Viscous layers of densely packed blackberries, cassis, and cherries are intermingled with loads of Asian spices and sweet, vanilla infused oak in this blockbuster's flavor profile. This full-bodied and
velvety-textured wine's superripe, seductive, and luscious fruit
dominate its firm structure, making it appear ready to drink. However, readers wealthy enough to purchase this gem, and patient enough to allow it to evolve, will be treated to a profoundly moving drinking experience." Pierre-Antoine Rovani, Robert Parker, Wine Buyer's Guide, Fifth Edition
