Leather chicory nose, drinking ten minutes after decanting a 2005. Tannins soft. Wood and blueberry fruit. Nice! — 11 years ago

#DRC #Richebourg 1966: out of the gate its nose was as compelling as the accompanying La Romanée-Conti 1996, the former displaying an explosive and complex swirl of mature cherry, brown sugar, and leather. But ten minutes later that leathery aspect began dominating the others and the wine started a deep, unexpected decline, its sexy sweetness fading like a volume knob twisting to off. We marveled at this unusual shift, continuing on to our final glasses. Another surprise came at the end the Riche partially returned to the sweetness and succulence of its first moments.

tart acids in front with no fruit--after ten minutes, the acidity melded into the background and gorgeous fruit and tertiary elements filled nose and palate, becoming a gorgeous bottle of red Burgundy--more finesse than expected from a Gevrey. Stunning wine. — 11 years ago
I liked it but thought it needed lots more time and/or a longer decant than a few minutes. Nicely balanced and lots of fruit. It was a lot like an'07 Sea Smoke Ten recently tasted blind and only popped and poured. I will bet it is a lot better after an hour or two of air. Kinda mono-note. — 13 years ago
