Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Initially, the impression on the nose of the Richebourg 2011 is one of the oak, although with encouragement it ebbs away to reveal finely tuned black cherry and strawberry fruit that is interlaced by fine tension and delineation. Upon further investigation – smoke, wet limestone and sea cave emerge and add another layer of complexity. The palate is succulent and fully ripe on the entry. There is great weight and density to this grand cru that is very well balanced with a really powerful, regal finish that just seems to expend vigor with aeration.

Deep medium red. Deeply pitched aromas of dark berries and cinnamon. Dense and superconcentrated but extremely backward today, hinting at both superripe dark fruits and pimiento. Best today on the very long, building, sappy finish, where the strong spice element dominates. This, too, is extremely backward and will need a good decade in the cellar to put on weight.
Densely fruited and quite wild! Edgy and sweet but doesn't follow the burgundy norms. Dry finish. Long and animal. (JR)
Deep, bright red with a hint of ruby. Very fresh, pure aromas and flavors of black raspberry, cassis, minerals and flowers. Combines outstanding density with nearly brutal medicinal reserve: if the Clos Vougeot is a baby, this is a fetus. Incredibly tangy wine with outstanding intensity and energy. Expands dramatically on the sappy, chewy back half, spreading out horizontally to coat the palate with leaving any impression of weight. With its ripe, chewy tannins and powerful crushed stone character, this really leaves the taste buds humming.
