  • Firmly NGMI territory. Fuzzed out, short and nondescript. (1744/12257)

  • 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)

  • The wine has no faults, but is just a realistic expression of a somewhat joyless vintage. Muted and introvert. With time a few glimpses of DRC magic, but certainly not a DRC vintage to buy also looking at my limited other experience.

  • This bottle was opened and decanted for almost 4-5 hours and still it barely budged. This was still quite closed and while the tannins were present they were fine. I won’t think about drinking this for another decade. Seemed a lot more closed than the 99 we drank a couple months ago.

  • A vintage outperformance here defying the astringency that I tend to find in 98 red Burg. The Riche was opened an hour before serving (no decant), visually very cloudy, murky dark ruby red. The nose plays with you between some lean notes of rhubarb but then coming at you with an attack of sweet stems and highly alluring earl grey notes. The palate is relaxed and open, generous would be exaggerated but for the vintage certainly, very measured and fine and filigree. The bottle disappeared very quickly shared between the two of us...
