  November 13, 2019 - The wine was oxidised, the appearance was a cloudy and very pale pinkish colour.

  July 4, 2016 - Richebourg Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): An absolutely remarkable wine - this was a tremendous example of what sufficient time and age adds to a Richebourg. The nose was unmistakeably DRC, with swirling smells of earth and meat, spice and black tea, and then familiar whole-cluster notes of herb and deer horn, all wrapped around a core of sweet cherry and berry aromas. Beautiful. For a 42 year-old wine from a less than heralded vintage, the palate was still remarkably rich and powerful, meaty almost, with a nice savoury, umami chew underlying cooler flavours of cherries and berries, all still sweet and juicy and succulent. A muscular, sinewy wine, yet also really graceful and beautifully balanced at the same time. What struck me most was the clarity it had developed. While the wine still bore the hallmark power of the other Richebourgs on the night, this had shed any sense of weight, and showed all the glowing transperancy that one comes to expect from a great aged Burgundy. Wow. Great, great finish as well - long, full, juicy, with a nice meaty bite to it. A gorgeous. almost sexy wine, drinking wonderfully at the moment.

  April 6, 2013 - Bottle with 4.5 cm fill under the cork. Beguiling wine. Much lighter than the St.Vivant and almost opaque. Sensual wine that is quite subtle and effortlessly marries redberry fruit and a light, smokey minerality. Expected cold tea or some other sign of age, but it was full of life and quite a revaluation - how good must a high fill wine be from a top vintage ?
