Richebourg Grand Cru Pinot Noir

A giant from burgundy .
honey dipped tobacco 😍😍 and a textured of pure silk!

From a good looking bottle, decanted for 2 hrs. Dark scarlet, almost opaque. Awesome perfumed nose. Notes of red fruit, black cherries, Asian spice, some menthol and some moist dark soil. Silky in the mouth. After a few hours the aromatics quieted down. Better showing tonight than the last bottle in 2020.

Clear. Shrill and detailed. Bright raspberry and game on the nose. Detailed on the edges. On the palate quite tart at the edges if the palate. Oak still there. Great fruit. Loads going on but needs a few years for it to pull into shape. Very good.

Tart cherry, sassafras, orange peel, tobacco, soft tannins, candied fruit and nice acid. Was worried about storage, but seems to have made it through.

Easy to approach at the moment. Faded in 4-5 hours. Solid overall.

Reddish tawny color. Deep brooding nose. Notes of black cherry, sois bois, Asian spice and moist soil. Needed 7 hours in a decanter to show its stuff. Silky and memorable.

Excellent

Tawny, clear and bright. Nose of cranberry, black cherry, mushroom, some pepper and dark spice. Refined in the mouth. Good fruit, lots of structure. Masculine. A dry finish. Some sweetness in the nose appears with air. Curious where this will go in a few years.

Still tight but have us a glimpse of brilliance

Tawny and translucent. Captivating nose with notes of ripe bing cherries, Asian spice, menthol, blueberry, clay soil and dried flowers. In the mouth the wine went from light bodied to rich and expansive after a few hours of air. Tannins fully resolved leaving just silky fruit with a long finish
