A really fantastic wine that just needs a few hours of air before serving. Sexy spice, flowers, coffee beans, smoked red fruit and herbs on the nose and palate. This is a complete Richebourg that has weight, dimension and complexity. It should outperform many DRC Richebourg. Wow. 95 now with another 1-2 point upside when it is fully mature.

Maybe not the freshest bottle of this. Very secondary and while there was plenty of flavor, it wasn't all good. I'll chalk this one up to experience. Was expecting much more.

In a Galaxy Far, Far Away - Richebourg ! (Vancouver, BC, Canada): Dark ruby colour in this low acid year. Subtle red currant nose with mid palate grip in spades, morphing into a ripe, tight tayberry finish. Very approachable at this juncture and threatening to be scrumptiously delicious. Silky and irresistible in this flight of rarefied superstars, with great aging potential as these clusters mostly derived from Veroilles au Richebourg, yet overall seems more like a les Richebourg origin ….considering the size of this balanced bruiser!

Slow oxed for 5 hours before serving. The bouquet was irresistable with perfume, red currant, flowers, dates. Good sweetness on the palate but very balanced. Silky, lush and weightless. Superb. 96-97

Extremely ripe, round and sweet red fruit and spice on the nose and palate. Like candy today, but the structure and concentration indicate this will last for ever. Superb balance already when you finally make it to the long finish.
