Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 27, 2015 - Wines at Mike's: A bright, vibrant, deep Ruby colour. A beautiful fragrance, led by violets, dark roses and other florals, mixed Asian spices, small, ripe raspberries and red and black cherries. A high toned, very pure bouquet. Amazing purity and crystalline fruit on palate. Very precise, driven, focussed and linear. A melange of red and black berry fruit. Beautifully poised and balanced. It almost makes the Perrot-Minot (going back to it) look clumsy and broad by comparison (but that's unfair to the Perrot-Minot). Tasting it blind it had to be (1) a DRC, and (2) a Richebourg, but I picked the vintage as, first, 2002, and then 2007. I would have expected a 2006 to have had the potential to get here in a few years. However, at the end of 2015, I would have expected the wine to have been more closed ... Presently gorgeous, this Richebourg of course will still reward significant cellar time.
