Fully mature but still quite structured, a characteristic of Jadot reds during Jacques Lardiere's time. Very perfumed, could be mistaken for a DRC RSV. It has excellent terrior expression, contrary to John Gilman's opinion, but to be fair, he assessed the wine when it was very young. Well balanced, the wine has that iron fist in velvet glove quality. Excellent value (at least at the price I paid).

Brilliant wine. Explosive aromas immediately after opening. Very pure fruit, with laser-like focus. Superb terroir expression. Very powerful mid-palate with good grip. There is good structure that has been totally subsumed. Well balanced with excellent inner mouth perfume. Good length. A great Richebourg.

Very intense nose of cigar, smoke and leather. Palate remains well balanced with good fruit and well integrated structure. Moderate length. A very enjoyable wine with at least another decade of life.
