1995 Richebourg

Pale+ ruby colour with a brick rim. Earthy, savoury, meaty nose with notes of ceps, smoky bacon, kirsch and spiced blackberries at the core. The palate is firmly structured, masculine, with a high level of grainy tannins and medium to high acidity complimenting the savoury fruit. Very long, earthy finish. Needs a few more years to soften and open out some of those more delicate, latent flavours but promises to be an amazing wine. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, May 2010
