Domaine Leroy, Romanee Saint Vivant Vintage:2014 sustainable fruit with stimulating bittersThis delivers comparable quality to the incredible 99 with hauntingly beautiful range of aromas that defy adequate description followed by dense, round, ripe, beautifully precise flavors and length that lasts for minutes. This can often be the best wine in the Leroy portfolio and while I dont believe the 00 merits that honor, it once again delivers astonishing quality.
