Tasting notes
The 2013 Richebourg Grand Cru has a more floral bouquet compared to the Romanee Saint Vivant, at least at the moment. It is very complex: black fruit rather than red, with hints of wilted violet petals and damp moss aromas developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with enormous structure and dimension. It is extremely complex, to the point where I found it difficult to find the right words! It just has a sense of authority and an incredible length that gently grips the mouth and stays there for two minutes after this ineffable wine has departed. Magnificent.

Dark crimson. Slightly less defined than the Romanée St-Vivant but with massive opulent purple fruit. Sinewy and a bit more restrained than the RSV. Vibrant and like a cello string on the end. (JR)
