Volnay Santenots, Domaine Leroy 1993

Stunningly rich and complex, still primary red and black fruit aromas lead to rich, full-bodied, deep, almost painfully intense flavors that simply ooze breed and class and the length of this simply goes on and on. This has to be one of the, indeed perhaps even "the" greatest Leroy Santenots ever produced and this is indisputably of grand cru quality. There is of course impressive size, distinction and richness but this has an emotional component to it as well and that rare quality where it's not even necessary to drink this to be wowed as the sheer complexity of the nose is nothing short of dazzling. This should age effortlessly for years and this will see its 30th birthday and still be in fine form.
