97+ JG. "The 2015 Hudelot Richebourg is very black fruity in personality, but also of stunning potential. The bouquet is a fine constellation of plums, black cherries, cocoa, gamebird, woodsmoke, lovely soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a rock solid core, ripe tannins, tangy acids and outstanding length and grip on the focused and seamless finish. This is a very young wine and does not yet show the same nascent complexity as found in the RSV, but it will be a great example of Richebourg in the fullness of time."
