96 AM. "A highly spiced, cool and reserved nose features superb breadth with a wonderfully appealing array of plum, violets, wet stone and liqueur of red berry fruit. The rich, focused and intensely mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors evidence controlled power and a sleek muscularity before terminating in an explosive and palate saturating finish of genuinely stunning length. This tightly wound effort is a middle weight in the context of the appellation yet it is an absolute knockout in every respect and particularly in terms of its perfect balance. In sum, this is classic Richebourg." Burghound.com, Nov 21, 2015 |
