Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 96 | |
| "A massive explosion of profound and intense cherries, raspberries, boysenberries, and strawberries coated my palate. It is a medium-to-full-bodied, densely-fruited, and powerful wine that is perfectly balanced and delineated. | |
| Fine Wine Review 98+ | |
| "The Richebourg at this point is more open and caressing than the Romanee-St.-Vivant. The nose shows spicy, exotic aromas, and the mouth is filled with yellow and green plums, blackberries, plenty of flesh,notable tannin, and a finish that does what Maggie Thatcher wanted to do--go on and on. Power, elegance, and exoticism, the hallmarks of great Richebourg, are all exemplified here." | |
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 | |
| A gorgeous, spicy and expressive nose of mostly black fruit aromas combines with rich, sweet and still tight medium full and quite firmly structured flavors that possess a long though slightly edgy and austere finish. Note that this bottle showed better than the one reviewed in the big Richebourg retrospective held in October, 2001. I would not touch another bottle for at least 5 years and this easily has 20 year+ potential as it will require a long time to completely unwind. Tasted on multiple occasions with consistent notes.
