Lot #118. Domaine Leroy Clos de Vougeot 1999

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 AM.
"I have had this beauty multiple times over the years and it continues to evolve slowly but gracefully. The expressive nose remains notably youthful as there are still no obvious secondary nuances present on the ripe, fresh, earthy, spicy and highly complex aromas. There is equally good ripeness to the big-bodied and still firmly tannic flavors that possess superb depth and outstanding length on the balanced finale where the only nit worth mentioning is a hint of warmth. This remains a notably serious wine despite the relatively round and velvety mid-palate texture that rapidly transforms into a very firm finish. In sum this is a really fine effort that should age, and drink, gracefully for years to come. Consistent notes . . ." Burghound.com, Apr 15, 2017
Notes: 1 x 2cm, 2 x 2.5cm, lightly bin soiled vintage neck tags, very lightly scuffed, very lightly bin soiled, 1 very lightly damp stained labels, #0625, 0628-0629.
