Pale garnet and clean. Nose somewhat restrained, and required some coaxing before I could experience the red cherry and leafiness, while the mushroom and moss actually felt more apparent, as if there’s some certain fungal Chinese herb. Flavours of wolfberry, cranberry, red cherry, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, caramel, green fern, wet leaves, and some peat. The spices and wolfberry flavours get very persistent, to a minute long finish. Could imagine that this is really a good wine, but probably in a weird spot, where the fruits are just about developing the cooked tertiary flavours, and those herbal notes are just starting to show. Sure it’s past its fresh primary window, and I think it will need more years to be great uet again. A further question begs - does it befit the current high value at which people are willing to pay? Honestly rather perplexed at this thought

Clear. Light. Bright. Ruby. Low tannin and alcohol. Light to medium bodied. So lean. Some stemminess. I would have guessed 2004. The green nature just made me struggle to enjoy this compared to some of the amazing Richebourgs I have had in 2019. Shared kindly by TL.

Beautiful nose with ginger flowers, perfume and red fruit. Palate was alluring but lacking weight and depth for a Richebourg. 92+

Drinking beautifully. A bit musky but great nose, body, and a long finish.

Domaine dinner with Aubert de Villaine at WS (WS New York): Didn’t have much in the way of notes. Probably my least favorite on the night. It was good but wasn’t harmonious.
