  January 8, 2021 - Beautiful nose with vosne spice, flowers, sweet red fruit and perfume. Youthful palate with lovely sweetness. Good depth and weight. An elegant Richebourg that drinks 10 years younger than it shows.

  November 18, 2016 - Acker Pre-Auction Tasting Wines & In-Auction Dinner Wines (Zuma - New York NY): What a treat. Rich, ripe and opulent aromas with great spice that is prototypically Vosne Grand Cru. Nicely fresh red cherry and berry aromas for 25 yo wine, then slightly more mature flavors with borderline jammy hints. Excellent concentration, just slightly less acid and brightness than I would prefer. 96+ point aromas, 91 point flavors.

  January 3, 2012 - I pulled the cork and poured carefully from the bottle. No decant….just wanted to see how the wine developed over the evening. Very deep color with some browning on the rim. Initially big dark red bing cherry jam blossomed out of the glass. Instantly, the sous bois and earthy elements started to develop. On the palate this definitely is a big boy. Lot of extract. Great mouthfeel, soft refined tannins, mushroom, forest floor and a sweetness and balance that was wonderful. As the wine developed after 1/2 hour, the soy elements started to come forward with more savory notes. Interestingly, after 2 1/2 hours, the cherries reappeared. The finish on this wine was spectacular with that sweetness, balance and just the right amount of acidity that one gets from great wines with age. It just seemed to linger on the palate. So, I was very impressed…Yes there is oak, but well integreated. Perhaps it's style not to everyone's liking, but for us this evening it was perfect.
