Friday, July 6, 2012 - 2012 - Gary's wine bash! (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant, The Forum Shopping Mall, Orchard Road): Alcohol :: 14%
Opened for 3hrs. It is unusual that we serve both Richebourg last but the sequence was correct. Both Richebourg offering massive power and not at all ready for business. Medium ruby, bright. The bouquet offering alluring soft spices, autumn leaves, perfume floral with raspberry and dark cherry fruits. It also has a fair hint of matches note at the background, which suggests reduction and may need longer aeration. Full bodied, this is definitely a Richebourg in term of power and scale. Super rich and concentrate, massive level of fine tannin along the dry extract numb the mouth and palate immediately. It has huge depth but will need at least another 10yrs in the bottle to develop better nuances. Super long, intense, grippy finish. 93-94+
