Domaine Leroy, Nuits Saint Georges Vignerondes

Domaine Leroy, Nuits Saint Georges Vignerondes(from a . 35 ha parcel). A more elegant and exuberantly fresh nose combines notes of cherry and dark currant with those of plum, lavender and violet. The middle weight flavors exude a really beguiling inner mouth perfume and flashing a plenitude of minerality on the focused and almost painfully intense bitter cherry pit infused finish that leaves no doubt that this beauty is built to age for the long to even very long term. This is terrific. 94 2030+
