1986 Maison Leroy, Nuits-St-Georges (750ml)

"1986 was always hard in its youth," commented Bize-Leroy. "85 was easier but '86 is often more racy." A ripe, woodsy bouquet, with cherry and mineral notes introduces this fine yet firmly structured red. It's focused by lively acidity, ending with a long aftertaste of spice and mineral. Drink now through 2020. 90 Points - Wine Spectator, March 9, 2006
