Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 20, 2019 - Richebourg + RSV for Mike and Pete's birthday (Holland Park, Singapore): A very classic, maturing Burg - this was pretty nice. The nose had a nice funky melange of savoury sous bois, bloody meat and earth framing brighter, more fragrant, almost feminine aromas of red cherries and swirling wood spices. A lovely nose. The palate felt just a bit on the skinny side against the other Grand Crus on the side, with a 1994 leanness edging what were otherwise still clearly Grand Cru-scale notes of dark cherries and berries, seasoned with a good bit of spice. The palate had a really nice sense of transparent purity to it, with juicy acidity and fine tannins leading the wine into a lovely, persistent finish. Not a blockbuster, but full of charm and drinking so well now. So enjoyable. This was a very strong 1994, probably drinking as well now as it ever will.
