    Plenty of stone fruit with tropical hints that remain near the side of restraint. Very impressive Grand Cru density. Rich spice everywhere gives a further sense of opulence, but minerality and acidity are clear and present, keeping this bright enough, and support very impressive length. Very good now through the next decade+.

    In Anne Gros / Hudelot-Noellat 1998/1999 Richebourg flight. Floral and elegantly spiced with both sweet and savory character in charming harmony. In fact, everything is so seamless here. Slowly matured bright red cherry and berry throughout, with good+ weight and length. I adored this wine when younger, but haven't re-tasted in a decade. In fact, I believe it is even better now.

  • 1999 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Richebourg 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    In Anne Gros / Hudelot-Noellat 1998/1999 Richebourg flight. Started off reserved, this slowly, begrudgingly opened and flourished. Lots of ripe red and black cherry with savory spice, this kept getting bigger, deeper and more nauanced. Great now, with upside. My WOTN by the end of the evening.

  • 1999 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    In Anne Gros / Hudelot-Noellat 1998/1999 Richebourg flight. So much density and potential, but this never fully expressed itself tonight. Bottle had just flown halfway across the country, so i suspect bottle/ travel shock might have been the culprit here.
