Toast, cafe au lait, roasting spices, and dark fruits are found in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Musigny. Chunky, dense, and broad on the attack, this medium-bodied, silky-textured effort reveals black cherries and blackberries as well as a firm tannin-filled finish. While outstanding, it appeared to lack the concentration of fruit and amazingly prolonged finishes of Mme. Leroy’s top 2003s. Projected maturity: 2008-2015.

A vegetal edge marks the aromas. Very concentrated, with black fruit flavors. Despite its ripeness, this is elegant and classy, with an incredible satin texture, density and fine length. Domaine Leroy non-blind tasting (6/08). Best from 2022 through 2070.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Musigny Select to Add
