Leroy Romanee St. Vivant 1997 Cote de Nuits one with signs of overfill seepage, damp-stained labels "The most aromatically complex wine to this point with seductively attractive earthy red berry fruit aromas that offer an exuberant spiciness with a contrasting touch of underbrush which merge into elegant and very fine mineral-infused middle weight flavors that are rich, intense and possess impressive mid-palate concentration as well as a subtle minerality. I very much like the poise this wine displays as it's harmonious, transparent and beautifully well-balanced. This is perhaps not as concentrated as the biggest of these eight grands crus but the impeccable harmony confers a Zen-like calm to this wine." Burghound, 96 pts. 04/09 6 bottles
