Product Description
BH97 "This too is very restrained though a bit of swirling quickly coaxes the ultra-spicy and very ripe nose to reveal liqueur-like aromas of black cherry, raspberry and cassis that are trimmed in a beautiful array of spice elements. There is outstanding intensity to the concentrated big-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract that confers a sappy texture to the mid-palate while also enrobing the very firm tannic spine shaping the superbly complex, powerful and massively long finish. This is a stunningly good young Richebourg with simply amazing potential that should amply repay long-term cellaring. (Drink starting 2045)" AM for BH Jan 2021
DR97 "The whole bunch fermentation that is a hallmark of DRC's style is particularly apparent on this rich, textured, almost Baroque Richebourg. Exotic, plush and spicy, with intense white pepper and clove aromas, fine-grained tannins, scented new oak and layers of bramble, raspberry and forest floor flavours, Layered, complex winemaking. (Drink between 2026-2038)" TA for DR Oct 2019
