Tasting Notes

**Note: from a .55 ha parcel**
There is just enough post-bottling reduction to mask the detail of the aromas though this is clearly ripe. There is excellent detail to the big-bodied, powerful, precise and highly vibrant medium-bodied plus flavors that culminate in a distinctly firm and again almost painfully intense, mineral-inflected and hugely long finish that is on the refined side for a young Richebourg. This is also very serious with moderate backend austerity where the supporting structure is without question sufficiently prominent to confirm that this will need all of 15 years to reveal its full potential.
