Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 22
The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru sports an intense nose of mulberry, dark plum, sous-bois , fern and incense. This is complex and involving, and quite mercurial in the glass. Returning to the wine after 15 minutes, it develops a subtle minty aroma. The palate is velvety-smooth with enormous depth. A little more lush than its peers, it offers extremely pure red cherries, wild strawberry and blood orange toward a dried blood and spicebox-tinged finish that fans out gloriously. Just a wonderful wine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
