Tasted after a very rustic and aged Lafarge Volnay Clos de Chenes 98. The Leroy is in a completely different league. Young bright still quite deep red. Lovely perfumed cherry nose, almost kirsch, with a core of concentrated ripe fruit no doubt from teh 70 year old vines and super low yields. Lovely balance, minerality and acidity. Not super complex, but glorious fruit and perfume and at 16 years old still I'd guess on the way up. Remarkable wine - the quality of a serious grand cru. (But then these days so is the price, alas!)
