Note di degustazione
The 1990 Richebourg Grand Cru has a decadent bouquet of intense black cherry and blueberry fruit; hints of licorice and melted tar develop with time as the aromatics seem to grow in volume. The palate is almost bulging with a mixture of precocious red and black fruit, framed by quite sturdy tannin that is uncommon in this vintage. It does not quite deliver the natural harmony and “flow” of the 1990 Richebourg from DRC, although it does have the density and sense of self-importance that you look for in this vineyard. Tasted at the DRC/Leroy comparative dinner in Hong Kong.

The magnificent, healthy medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1990 Richebourg has stupendous depth and complexity to its dark fruit-dominated aromas. Soy and hoisin sauces, cherries, and raspberries can be discerned in its deep, medium-to-full-bodied character. This satin-textured wine remains youthfully vibrant and should benefit from additional cellaring. Projected maturity: 2005-2010+.
