Immensely impressive, Leroy’s 2003 Volnay Santenots du Milieu bursts from the glass with waxy sweet black cherries. Medium to full-bodied and sporting a personality of fabulous breadth, it slathers the palate with candied cherries. Intense yet suave, this sensual mouth-filling wine also possesses an exceptionally long, seamless finish. Drink it over the next 10 years.
