• ricardito Likes this wine: 98 points

  November 6, 2021 - Very light red in the glass with an expansive mix of crushed strawberries, subtle rose petals and faint saddle leather on the nose. A killer bourgogne rouge extraordinaire with impressive midpalate of sweet dried cranberries. Classic so-called “Peacock Tail” finish slamming the olfactory senses on the back end that draws well heeled Burg lovers from other planets (Venus comes to mind) to the table for a sniff and a sip of the greatest there ever was! The DRC big three (RC, LT and Rich) invariably rule the waves in the wine sea, as they seem to peak in 30-60 years, when these sweet strawberries and rose petals surface as the arguably pleasant stemminess ameliorates. Easy choice for bottle of the year….and 2nd best 78 ever served to me, with the best being a 1978 DRC RC-served by you know who (D and L) on December 12th , 2011.
