Craig's Wine Notes

By coincidence, we have a sample bottle open in the office today of Clos Vougeot Domaine Leroy 2000. While the bottle itself appears to be in sound condition (usually, when we have bottles open it is to verify the storage conditions of the wine), it's just not all that good. The oak was really aggressive when first poured; it's moving into the background a bit on the nose but it's still an assault on the palate. Some cherry fruit and brambly notes but it's a pretty anonymous wine, and not a very well made one.
