Tasting notes
The 2015 Richebourg Grand Cru was actually more immediate on the nose compared to the Echezeaux (usually it is the other way round). Matured in one-third new oak, it offers quite intense yet pure aromas of blackberry, briary, incense, potpourri and crushed stone all with very impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, red and black fruit intermingling and embroidered with orange zest and minerals. I love the delineation and poise expressed by this Richebourg, and the length is one of the best that I have encountered in almost two decades visiting the domaine. Do not, on any account, underestimate this Richebourg. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com

(from a .6 ha parcel and 70% new oak). A generously wooded nose displays an array of exuberantly spicy if slightly candied aromas of various dark berries, cinnamon, hoisin and lavender. There is both fine power and punch to the medium weight and mineral-inflected flavors that deliver solid length on the slightly sweet, warm and chewy finish where the oak displayed by the nose reappears. This is somewhat awkward today though it may very well harmonize if given a few years of cellar time. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
