The Story

CHARACTER OF THE RICHEBOURG  / The robe, or colour, is feminine, the nose masculine. The mouth is full of life with an incomparable richness, a generosity which is sometimes overwhelming. To the Eye

Everything depends on the vintage and the age of the bottle. A Richebourg can be a velvety ruby colour or a dark nocturnal red, shading towards blackish purple. The colour is always intense and dense, luminous and shot through with gleams of carmine.

To the Nose When young, this wine reveals aromas of musk and Russian leather, with touches of sandalwood. With age it acquires scents of hawthorn and peachblossom. Two aromatic families can be distinguished: hints of lichen, woodland undergrowth and mushrooms on the one hand, on the other the scent of cherries, blackcurrants, cooked or preserved fruits. In the Mouth When young this wine positively explodes, intense and violent. It needs to be allowed to age for several years, during which time it will become expansive and warm. Elegant and racy, it is capable of a long life, and wines from the great vintages are superb, the very image of sensuous pleasure. They occasionally have more finesse than structure, but may conversely be massively fruity and enthusiastic, compact and muscular in temperament.

Written Notes

Served blind. Somewhat cloudy medium ruby. Jumps out of the glass, raspberries, massively scented, light touch of herbs, floral notes, detailed, nuanced, minerals, some spices, not as linear and transparent as some, but highly seductive. Slight sous bois far back with air. Fresh acidity, playful and lively, ripe tannins, maybe ever so slightly unripe and firm. Mouthwatering if a touch edgy, outgoing, long. Coffee notes in the long finish. 94-95
