1996 Maison Leroy Bourgogne - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (11/1/2005) A very classy nose for a wine of this level: dark cherry, underbrush, still primary. More earthy and mature on the palate showing mushroom, dark and brambly fruit with hard acids and a bit of astringency in the tannins. Good concentration. An excellent value, drink over the next year or two. **
