1998 Domaine Leroy, Pommard, Les Vignots 1x750ml

Robert Parker 90

The ruby-colored 1998 Pommard Les Vignots has exceptional depth to its blackberry and black cherry aromatics. Medium-to-full-bodied and concentrated, this velvety-textured wine has loads of red and black fruits in its personality. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Anticipated maturity: 2000-2008

Vinous 87-89

Full medium-red. Reduced aromas of raspberry, game and leather. Sweet, lush and dense, but could use a bit more verve. Finishes with thoroughly ripe, mounting tannins. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2000]
