Notably light on the palate in the context of 02 Richebourg. The nose was also muted. On the palate, it showed the Richebourg complexity in a very finessed manner with darkish red fruit and nutmeg, but somewhat fell short of expectation for its pedigree. 91-92

A touch of gunpowder and salty plum to the aroma. It is layered with fruit in the mouth, with a penetrating core of cherry and blood plum. Structural elements are relatively relaxed and there are some gorgeous florals. It is not a big Richebourg, but a beautifully balanced one, drinking at the top of its game.

(Hudelot-Noellat Richebourg) Medium ruby-red colour. The nose is quite tight, meaty with aspects of black fruit but gives little away. You need to wait quite some time for more exuberance, precise red berry notes slowly emerge. Plenty of grainy tannins and super length are the first impression, but what's missing is a little excitement. There's still some oak apparent on the finish. Density certainly, good mouth-feel and no easily spotted faults, but tonight it's missing the spark.

Lighter version of Richebourg but very expressive. An absolutely ready and singing wine now.
