Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru has red and black fruit on the nose, with pressed iris flower, undergrowth and a little iodine. Fine definition, yet tight. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and gentle grip. It has more depth than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, but this clams up towards the finish and leaves you wondering if there's more. I will be prudent for now.
