9.4

Finally coming of its shell. As many 13's are in a great place now this continues with that theme. Superb nose. Intensely mineral, white pepper, rainer cherries. Lemon candy drops after some air. Palate is deep, mineral and very concentrated with citrus whiplash on the finish after an opulent attack and mid palate. Terrific unexpected contrast. Really elegant after some air. So complete. Puts so many GG's to shame. Sappy and mineral finish with terrific length. I adore these wines. Such values and he is still overlooked in the Nahe by the big boys. Not for long. — 9 years ago

This is how we do movie night. Whiplash was the movie and the wine fit perfectly. Honeysuckle and stone fruit. — 11 years ago

They ran out of whiplash, but this (different blend) has a nice zinfandel berry flavored wine. — 10 years ago

Richebourg Pinot Noir 1966

9.4

#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. Can a palate experience whiplash? — 11 years ago
