This DRC Richebourg is slightly musky to start with. With air, it clears up a bit, and gains power and complexity. But not best sample of DRC Richebourg.

Nose was musky exhibiting dark fruit, soy sauce, iron, spice, earth and griotte cherry. On the palate, it was broad and muscular with waves of subtle sweetness, especially compare to the 96 Richebourg on the side. It possessed a lot of power. In my humble view, 98 is not a great vintage for DRC.

Another Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): Served blind. Slightly rustic color. Fully mature Burgundian nose displaying shy mature red fruit, a hint of cherry and strawberry, sweet spices and earth. There is a hint of oxidative note. Medium concentration, shy red fruit, lean and cool, bright acidity, earth mineral and a medium long finish with oxidative end. It is not terribly complex. My guess is a 1er cru mid tier burgundy from the late 80s.

I admit that I do not drink wine from DRC very often so I must have some bias here. That said, I find this wonderful and compelling. There is harmony, weighty weightlessness, exotic spices, tangerine peel, and a forcefulness that says, “pay attention." But it’s not precious. There is a depth that lures me in and a texture that just sings. Not the greatest bottle of wine I have ever had but boy is it memorable to me. (96)
