Richebourg Grand cru 2015

- 93 points -

The 2015 Richebourg Grand Cru has a deep color and a slightly forced nose that is perhaps accentuated by its juxtaposition against Etienne Grivot's Richebourg. Flavors of dark berry fruit, brown spices and a touch of soy are a little smudged, and the oak is not quite singing from the same hymn sheet at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, offering assertive structure and impressive weight and concentration - almost Bordeaux-like toward the finish. This definitely needs a lot of time in the cellar. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
