Saturday, December 24, 2011 - Drank in the Alps
What can I say but this a marvellous wine from the Grivot's small plot in Richebourg adjacent to La Romanee and Romi-Conti.
As a mature bottle it had a pronounced nose of flowers against a background of red fruit. Still with a lot of body with some bricking around the edges.
The taste was refined supple and light with a sweetness to the feel. Wonderful red fruits and a grand length.
I gave a glass to the Sommelier who could not take the smile off his face.
An absolute great wine but sadly quite rare.
