  July 23, 2020 - In a Galaxy Far, Far Away - Richebourg ! (Vancouver, BC, Canada): Purchased on release from Sam’s in Chicago. Deep yellow with rich, ample nose of subtle vanilla with a sliver of mango. Thick, intense peach, Koru apple and almond on the palate with vast structure reserve and wonderful grip. Currently delicious with a croissant finish, and in this format - good for another 10 years easy. Gotta love those big boy whites with bottle age from the 80’s, before the pre-mox crisis flummoxed a generation of wine makers.

  April 30, 2015 - quite mature and ok wine, but competition was just too big at that lunch

  May 1, 2012 - Amazing line-up, one-word impressions only: This started a bit disjointed with some slightly unpleasant, medical smell. But it evolved in the glass and gained composition - probably a good wine, but not my favorite

  June 22, 2011 - Another great showing for a fully mature white burg this evening in a stunning flight. High toned, slightly medicinal nose with notes of spearmint and licorice. Real presence, precision and persistence (my 3 favourite Ps!) on the palate.

  November 22, 2010 - A lighter colour than I expected, served from a decanter. Classic Montrachet nose of marzipan and citrus fruits. Very fresh. Rich, onctuous in the mouth. Opened up for a further 45 minutes. Beautiful
