Note di degustazione
The 1991 Richebourg Grand Cru is better than the example tasted three years ago. Wonderful delineation on the nose; there are blackberry and earthy notes, still those hints of meat juice, perhaps more transparency than other bottles. The palate is medium-bodied and framed by filigree tannins, with sour cherry hints commingling with black truffle and cedar. There is a little more tartness on the finish with a sweetness that leaves you utterly smitten, just a suggestion of menthol emerging with time. Maybe at its peak? Whatever, it is a sublime wine from an outstanding vintage for Aubert de Villaine and Bernard Noblet.

The 1991 Richebourg Grand Cru replicates the bottle that I tasted in 2015. Showing just slight ageing on the rim, it has a compelling, quite meaty bouquet with blackberry, briary and loamy notes, great depth and power, though maybe not quite as charming as the 1990. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, less tart than the previous bottle with a grippy, truffle and cedar-tinged finish that fans out wonderfully. This has got much more to give, though you could happily polish off a bottle now. Tasted at the La Paulée in Beaune.
