  Drank this along with a 2002 Lignier Clos de la Roche:
  
  Lignier Clos de la Roche was the clear winner for me, although one of the people in our group preferred the Richebourg.
  
  Lignier had a beautiful nose of rose petals, fruit, wood and earth, and they all layered together so nicely. It was just a joy on the nose. The palate was similarly complex with maybe a hint more earth. Very long finish. Could have drunk this wine all night.
  
  The TLB Richebourg on the other hand was a bigger wine with much more structure in the mouth and forceful tannins. For me, the tannins cut the finish way too short. Nose was very nice but just not as complex. My sense was that this wine had tremendous potential but needed another 5-10 years to really reach it.

  Pleasant wine, lots of fruit, didn't give a whole lot of classic Richebourg notes though. Didn't evolve all that much in the glass either. Not the best Richebourg I've ever had, but hey, it's still Richebourg.
