Note di degustazione
One of the finest wines produced in this freakish year, the 2003 Clos de la Roche, with its medium to dark ruby color, is also one of the darkest offerings produced at Domaine Leroy in the vintage. Its boisterous aromatics exhibit scents of red cherries, roses, bacon, meat, and violets. Full-bodied and intense, this awesomely deep, ample effort is concentrated, lush, harmonious, and stunningly long in the finish. Crammed with candied dark fruits, it reveals impeccably ripe, sweet tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.

Bright ruby-red. Knockout nose combines strawberry, underbrush, minerals and stone; like a fully ripe essence of Clos de la Roche. Superconcentrated and sweet, with the wine's distinct minerality giving it class and definition. Superripe but not over the top. Silky and full; a nobler version of the superb Combottes. Finishes tannic, minerally and very long, with a lingering juiciness. Captures the great potential of this vintage.
