Lot #63. Domaine Leroy Richebourg 1990

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 98 RP.
"Lalou Bize-Leroy's black-colored Richebourg is amazingly closed, but the awesome concentration, sheer precision of flavors, and extraordinary fatness and intensity are mind-boggling. Put it away for at least a decade and then watch it unfold for the next 20-35 years. It is a wine of extraordinary richness. As much as I admire her 1988 and 1989, for the long-term, the 1990 will achieve the greatest degree of complexity and provide the most pleasure . . . . I believe Madame Bize-Leroy has made more concentrated and profound wines from the grands cru vineyards of Richebourg and Romanee St.-Vivant than did the DRC in 1990." Wine Advocate #83, Oct 1992
Notes: Scuffed capsule, lightly damp stained, lightly wine stained, very lightly scuffed label, #1539. European (white capsule) release.
