wow. Exceptionally plush and deep. Luxuriant red and blue fruit but with a sappy soft plasticine quality. Really plush and lush and delicious with great clarity and purity. Again, wow

What a nose. Impossible to describe. A nice mustiness but beautiful flowers. Some earth balance. Not replicable. Could go a few more years. Still tannic although nicely integrated. Just magnificent.

2002 vintage. Good fill. Nice cork. Not decanted. Tasted after 45 mins, 1.5 hours and 3 hours open. Light body. Nose replete with raspberry and strawberry notes along with some dried mushrooms and a slight, high octane/alcohol nose. Flavors same/similar + cherry pastille. Finish lengthy but not otherworldly. Was left wanting more as it felt that this particular bottle, while showing decently, is possibly an outlier. 12.09.24.

This was one of the best showings of the DRC RSV. Perfect 100 pt nose with a full display of the red & black fruits, soaring Asian spice in an elegant, floral style. Happy New Year!

A baby. Should have been double decanted at 10 in the morning. Stalky. Initially had a sulfur, pyrazine nose. That blew off, but the wine didn’t really come into balance. Wait 5-10 years. NR.
