The 1988 Richebourg has slightly less finesse and a less perfect bouquet than the Romanee St.-Vivant, but it is more muscular. fuller-framed, and a titan of a wine with its huge proportions and massive concentration and depth. This is a monumental old-style burgundy that is meant to last for ages, and I am envious of anyone who is fortunate enough to put it in their cellars. The 1988 vintage attests to a remarkably auspicious start for the new Domaine Leroy in Vosne-Romanee.
