The astringency of the tannins in this wine raised concerns. It shows amber in its medium-to-dark ruby color and has admirable concentration of dark berry fruit, yet it is rugged and dry. The 1993 has evolved smoke, tobacco, cedar, and herbal aromas and flavors.

Approaching maturity, Leroy's 1993 Chambertin Grand Cru is a magical wine, wafting from the glass with complex aromas of dark berry fruit, peonies and wilted rose petals, mingled with hints of musk, sweet soil tones and orange rind. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's still tightly wound, with a racy spine of acidity and fine, powdery tannins framing its core of intensely concentrated fruit. Concluding with a long, perfumed finish, it comes across as a somewhat more brooding, austere stylistic cousin to the stunning 2001 Chambertin—another year when Leroy crafted some of the wines of the vintage.
