Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Richebourg Pinot Noir

A legend. So complex and rich. This is an amazing Richebourg that could definitely still be fresh after 15-20 years..!

Dark ruby. Animalistic nose of dark berry fruit and blood sausage plus dirt and Asian spice. Amazing complexity and tactile audacity in the mouth. Way too young but so utterly outstanding right now. Hope to be alive when this is ready to drink a few decades from now.

Jun 28th, 2015Clove, anise, allspice, fennel seed, cherry skins, plumflesh, topsoil, corn chips, toasted seeds, sage brush, manzanita berries, manzanita berries, and manzanita berries! Unreal balance and poise, savory yet fresh. Black tea, espresso and chili flake dry rub. Layers on layers of complexity. You won’t get tired of looking for new threads of flavor. Has decades to go, still youthful at 14 years old.

Last night at the Fairmont - not a bad way to exit (although they did throw me in the pool - suit, shoes & all)...
