Note di degustazione
The 1999 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Allots from Leroy was still very powerful on the nose with "thickset" red berry fruit, a hint of blue fruit and a struck match scent that did not quite fit in. The palate is again powerful and dense, in my opinion my reflective of the 1999 growing season rather than the terroir, a village cru straining to flex its muscles and be treated as a premier cru. You admire that ambition, and yet it never quite achieves the nuance and complexity on the finish that would convince you of that. It is undeniably a delicious Aux Allots but one that did not trigger an intellectual or emotional response. Tasted January 2017.

Full ruby-red. Smoky aromas of raspberry, cassis and chocolate. A step up in body and sweetness from the Bas de Combe, but with good rather than outstanding depth of flavor. Chunky in the middle palate. Finishes with nicely ripe tannins and good length.
