1995 Richebourg

Pretty, ripe and very pure spicy and earthy red fruit aromas that display moderate secondary development plus a touch of menthol introduce relatively sweet, full, supple and rich flavors that are supported by still prominent medium weight tannins that are much better integrated into the finish than are those of the Cros Parantoux. This is unusually fine for the vintage and offers exceptionally good balance and excellent length and unlike the Cros, the sense of harmony here will permit this to continue to age gracefully without drying out, at least not anytime soon.
