  March 2, 2020 - I found this wine disappointing. Perhaps a weak bottle? Lacked fruit, depth, length, a bit acidic and disjointed. Not richbourg to me. From a European collector’s perfect cellar, so storage/shipping not the issue. This bottle was a tired Burg on the downside.

  February 1, 2020 - Burgundy Wine Club 10th Anniversary Dinner: Amidst a quartet of Jean Gros Richebourg, most at the dinner felt that this was the finest of the four. I found the aromatics on the 82 to be more exciting, but I think that this wine is overall a grander wine, and that it could surpass the 82 aromatically when it is of equal age. On this night it was absolutely stunning, as enthralling of a Burgundy experience as I've had. Piercing, focused, gorgeous, indescribably complex aromatics that include red fruit, asian spice, rose petal, but this if anything detracts from the sense of the nose, it was better than these attempts to describe it. Just a gorgeous wine, the kind of wine that converts the Burgundy skeptic, the kind of wine that leaves you wanting to chase Burgundy in the hopes of reliving this kind of experience.

  December 5, 2016 - Required 30 minutes to fully open. Very expressive with elegant acid across the palate. 94+

  September 2, 2016 - A lost Friday afternoon gathering – Burgundy, Piedmont, Riesling, Champ and Sautenres (Blacksalt, Washington DC): Subtle yet polished nose displaying red fruits, strawberry, a hint of blackberry, sap, mushroom and mineral. Polished and precise palate, medium concentration, still a hint of coarse tannins and clean finish. A couple hours later, showing noticeable oxidation which is surprising. Not the most complex Richeboug but perfectly mature one. Really enjoyable.
