Tasting notes
The 1989 Richebourg Grand Cru is finally beginning to unwind, offering up pretty aromas of plums and dark berries mingled with peonies, spices and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, lively and perfumed, with a taut core of fruit and a saline finish, this remains a rather sullen vintage for the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

Pale brownish tawny. Lovely rich, expansive, extremely sweet nose with admirably energetic jewelly sweet fruit, still with a hint of tannin, on the palate. Really, really vigorous! Long. (JR)
