Friday, September 20, 2019 - Richebourg + RSV for Mike and Pete's birthday (Holland Park, Singapore): Very nice indeed, and really youthful for a 1993 - I actually thought it was a 2001 when blind. The nose had a little shade green funk, with those boiled herb and ginkgo nut aromas that made me think 2001 or 2004, and then much more attractive drifts of sweet red fruit and Vosne spice and some violet flowers. Very nice. The palate was where the wine really shone though. It had a fabulous glow of sweet red cherries and berries laced with gentle spice, all playing against a wonderful backdrop of sinewy earth and mineral - very Richebourg, all the way into a long, effortlessly powerful finish. This was an absolutely lovely drop drinking wonderfully on the night. Super stuff.
