  September 20, 2019 - Richebourg + RSV for Mike and Pete's birthday (Holland Park, Singapore): This was so very enjoyable. The one off-theme non-RSV or Richebourg, this turned out to be one of the best wines of the night. The nose was sweet and attractive in a very matured Burgundy way, with wafts of sweet strawberry and red cherries streaming out of the glass along with little hints of spice and a little base of earth and meat. A beautiful old school Chambertin nose. The palate had a lovely sweet fleshiness that I have rarely encountered on a 1988, with sweet dried strawberries and maraschino cherry flavours seasoned with a little touch of warm spice and some ferrous mineral. At the finish, a little hint of vanilla and cocoa came out amidst the fruit. Thick and rich, yet still very fresh, and showing barely a hint of 1988’s tight tannins, this was lipsmackingly delicious. Lovely stuff. While not the most polished or sleek expression of the terroir, it was oh so yummy, and really quite a complete, harmonious showing.

  July 9, 2011 - At 1st nose a bit chalky which blew off after an hour, dark red color with orange rim, some say V8 like nose? After an hour the wine is more red fruit with quite pure cherries, palate lacks attack, a very comfortable wine to drink but perhaps passes its prime for 3-4years.
