Richebourg 2005

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent level, label has one tiny mark, otherwise excellent appearance, straw wrapped; Bon niveau, une étiquette à une légère marque, sinon excellente apparence, emballé avec de la paille

Very luscious, black fruit nose. Great "animal" health. Opulence and meltingly ripe fruit. That "smoky fireplace" finish. Cassis notes. Great allure and complexity on the aftertaste. Hugely-flavoured wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA (94-95)
