  October 11, 2023 - Earthy, smoky aromatics. Bestial, wild quality. Blockbuster palate, sweetness and persistence. Superb mineral quality. (3622/10418)

  A lot of roasted aromas, maybe a hint too much. Red berries are the background, powerful Burgundy with long finish. 95

  April 4, 2023 - Excellent. From the first sniff, it was floral, elegant and filled with a delicious masculine rosey scent which corresponds to my memory of what Richebourg is. After the first 10 minutes, it went to a slightly sleepy state for another good hour. On the palate, it was this deep bouquet of red cherries, rose petals, ripe raspberries, and a hint of lavender running in forte. The tannins were noticeably soft, giving a rather velvety and silky finish. How good was it? The bottle was empty in less than 2.5 hours… I wouldn’t however suggest keeping this in the cellar for very much longer.

  December 26, 2022 - Just stunning from initial whiff (pronounced stems which evolve into subtle floral notes) to last drop (balanced, sweet, persistent and clear). (406/10418)

  January 5, 2022 - A fantastic, truly amazing young Richebourg.
  Very floral nose, red airy and perfumed, summer meadow, strawberries and lovely wild strawberries, smoke, dusty minerals and a mix of fine oriental spices and herbs.
  Spicy red cherries, hints of pepper, creamy strawberries, ripe mashed sweeter wild strawberries.
  More depth and some darker meaty fruit lurking underneath.
  Perhaps a bit less stems showing than I'm used to in DRC's wines?
  Exceptional balance, very good acidity and the length is tremendous.
  Young - almost sinfully so, but singing on a high note already.
