2006 Domaine Leroy, Richebourg Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

As is usually the case, here the nose is much less expressive, indeed even brooding at present though it is more than capable, offering up an impressive array of spice elements as well on the mostly black pinot fruit nose complemented by earthier sub-notes that continue onto the powerful, ripe and concentrated tautly muscled and big-bodied flavors that are supported by very firm but buried tannins as the impressive extract renders them all but invisible for the moment. However, as the baby fat melts away they will become more prominent and this will be a long distance runner, easily capable of 30 years or more of cellar potential.
