Switched to Richbourg as we have over consumed Vosne Romanee and we needed a different style of Burgundy to go with our Pigeon!
Usual notes of red fruits (strawberry) to begin and a beautiful fruit concentration with soft, smooth texture throughout the 2 hours we managed to hold off on chugging it! — 21 days ago

Exuberant, floral nose, red and black fruits, medium bodied with silky resolved tannins, some meat and olive brine, layered and powerful. Spectacular showing 🤩 — 3 days ago
