Note di degustazione
In its youth, the 2001 was incredibly austere for years. Now, the fruit is starting to fade, while whole cluster inflections and potent tannins dominate. Maybe I have had bad luck. I will hold up hope of encountering a better example at some point in the future. This bottle is good, but it does not meet our expectations.

The 2001 Richebourg Grand Cru from DRC is deeper in color than the Leroy. It is very expressive on its regal nose of black fruit rather than red, crushed stone and hints of juniper and sage, all exquisitely defined. The aromatics simply stop you in your tracks. The palate has enormous backbone and brings to mind images of a vaulted cathedral. The acidity is perfect, and it fans out with dark berry fruit on the structured, aristocratic finish. This is evolving into a marvelous Richebourg that has style and class to spare. Tasted at the DRC/Leroy comparative dinner in Hong Kong.
