On the nose not as showy as the DRC next to it, but on the palate shows power of a Richebourg. More tertiary than other wines tonight but drinking very nicely

Casual Sunday Dinner?: Alexis Lichine bottling. Classic Richebourg, blue fruit, cherry, plum, purple spice, rose petal, sous bois, hay, mushroom, earth. Excellent structure and tannin profile, if slightly smaller than the DRCs on the side. 94

Tasted blind: one whiff of this and I was instantly in love! Drop - dead gorgeous nose of beautiful mature burgundy with that glorious autumnal "shtank" I crave. Amazing power and balance, totally elegant and enchanting. Textbook "iron fist in a velvet glove". What a treat! Amazing wine for a "less than stellar" vintage. 95+
