The hugely spicy nose of the medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1993 Richebourg has fresh herbs and red fruits intermingled throughout its intricate aromatics. It is an extraordinary 1993, with the expected firm, highly present tannins, but an unexpectedly massive dose of dense, deep black fruit. Built for the long haul, it may well have the capacity to be a forty year wine. Projected maturity: 2010-2020+.

All rose and perfume in aroma, this is a more elegant version of Richebourg. Nonetheless, it's concentrated and fresh, though still very structured and slightly grainier in texture than its peers. Domaine Leroy non-blind tasting (6/08). Best from 2012 through 2045.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Richebourg Select to Add
