| Review: |
"The 2011 Richebourg is restrained on the initial attack. The aromas open slowly on the palate with notes of plummy fruit, firm, almost saline minerality, and a hint of wild herbs. The texture is massive, with firm tannins, a dense feel on palate and a tightly-wound finish that will take years to unspool. There is nothing astringent, tart, or bitter, but the wine needs time to open and then should last for decades. Picked 7-8 September; 13,971 bottles produced. (Drink between 2025-2060)." |
