Tasting Notes

94
Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jun 25
The 1996 Richebourg Grand Cru is a step above the previous vintage. It has a typical nose for the vintage, black instead of red fruit, a touch sullen at first, yet it brightens in the glass and delivers subtle ferrous, orange peel and mulch-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied with more structure and grunt than the '95, not a Richebourg with grace, yet sapid and with more persistency. This is thoroughly enjoyable, even if I don't think it will improve further after 28 years. Tasted at the Richebourg vertical dinner in Taipei.
