The sweet perfume, talcum powder, and cherry juice-scented 1996 Richebourg has a dark ruby/purple color. This extraordinary wine has a full body, immense richness, and a classy, powerful, satin-textured core of red currants, black cherries, spices, and blackberries. It is highly-structured and has copious tannins, yet they are enveloped in dense, thick fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015.

Reticent aromas, but with air revealed red currant and floral elements. In the mouth, it's rich and opulent, with stiffer tannins and dense texture. Perhaps in an awkward phase today. Domaine Leroy non-blind tasting (6/08). Best from 2015 through 2055.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Richebourg Select to Add
