Note di degustazione
Lightly cooked black cherry and raspberry, wood smoke, musk, and (for the first time in this collection) decidedly gamey aromas mark the Leroy 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes. A distinctively wet stone cast inflects the black fruits on the very full, rounded palate, and this wine’s long, strong finish is dominated by yet more sweet black fruit, plus red licorice, with only a low-toned growl of wild animal. And indeed, at least today, the personality of this wine is itself dominated by its concentrated, seamless finish. Importer: Martine’s Wines. Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400

Red-ruby, a shade less dark than the Chambolle Charmes. Wild raspberry and gibiers on the nose; with its smoky and meaty elements this comes across as less primary than the Charmes that preceded it-and less suave. Then fat and sweet in the mouth, with red fruit and leather flavors showing moderate definition. Finishes with sound acids, a note of nutty oak and very good length. Perhaps in an awkward, inexpressive stage today; I wanted to find more clarity and thrust.
