In a Galaxy Far, Far Away - Richebourg ! (Vancouver, BC, Canada): Light red with crushed Utah Giant cherries and medium toast on the nose. Palate tight but after an hour in the glass revealed a complex regal mélange of structured crushed cranberries with a long gorgeous finish slapped with five spice powder. Tough long distance vintage just starting to spread it’s wings so you can see what’s shaking inside.

Served next to '93 Brulees, the similarities were immediately evident. However, this was a bruiser compared to the more elegant and accessible Brulees. After an hour in the glass, it started to really shine, with the fruit becoming more apparent, and the nose revealing more spice. By the end of the night I preferred this to the Brulees, but for the table Brulees was WOTN.
