Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru, Aux Lavières--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Leroy
Tasting note: Displaying a saturated, medium-to-dark ruby color and delightful aromas of fresh blueberries and violets, this wine is a silky-textured, thick, full-bodied, and magnificently complex wine. This offering's black cherries, cassis, and blackberries explode on the palate, coating it with sweet juices. Its extremely long finish offers minerals, stones, and tons of super-ripe, but well-focused dark fruits. Projected maturity: 2002-2008. 96 points. Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #118, August 1998
