we dronk this wine against the richebourg DRC 2006, this was the better wine because the drc has more finesse, but this wine changed so much over the evening, that I was really impressed , because it started as a dark colored wine, with heavy tannins , round , and earthy flavors, with a fat structure in the mouth, to young to drink, but after a while the red fruit broke through and the wine had this appealing sweetness in the mouth that your still want more and it made you curious , I'm looking foward to drink this wine again in 10 years, it will not have the finesse of the drc but I think it will be great and score better !

Strong floral, earthy and oaky nose. The hallmark "old dry mop" odor, which is present in most of the older Burgundy wines (especially the ones from Richebourg and La Tache) was very noticeable. Decanted from the bottle for an hour. Initial taste was smooth and elegant, with hint of dark berries and mineral. After taste lingered on for a good few minutes. This wine went very well with roasted turkey.

A hedonistically delicious baby. Packed with Asian spice, black tea and smoked herbs interspersed with sweet black cherry. While big and fruit driven, it’s fresh and refined. In an early and pleasurable drinking window.

In a Galaxy Far, Far Away - Richebourg ! (Vancouver, BC, Canada): Light ruby with huckleberry and dark toast on the nose. Smoky loganberries on the long structured palate , with a silky finish supercharged with a splash of nutmeg and galangal. This is well ready to breach and enjoy now-yet secondary flavours in another 10 years would gild this up a notch!

(Mostly) Burgundy Dinners with Friends; 4/21/2022-4/22/2022 (Chicago, IL): Not quite as "wow" as previous bottles, this was still fun, big and powerful, while also clearly with restraint and wonderful balance. I think the wine on a long flight earlier in the day didn't help.
