2000 Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur Richebourg Grand Cru

(natural alcohol above 14%) Full ruby-red. Deep aromas of raspberry, smoke and earth. Supple, silky and large-scaled in the mouth, with impressively sweet flavors of black cherry, raspberry and earth. A bit dulled on the nose and aggressive toward the finish due to the fact that the wine is on its finings, but the sweet tannins come very late, allowing the wine strong fruit to express itself. Hard to assess with confidence but should offer great pleasure.
