This is a highly extracted, explosively scented, berry fruit flavored Clos Vougeot that is medium-bodied, supple, and lovely to drink. It is not profound by Lalou Bize-Leroy's standards, but it is an extremely concentrated, well-balanced bottle of wine that should evolve gracefully for 10-20 years. The 1988 vintage attests to a remarkably auspicious start for the new Domaine Leroy in Vosne-Romanee.
