Richebourg 1996Domaine de la Romanee Conti
3.6cm, lscl, #00013
Magnum (1)
The Perfect Arc Cellar. This is one of those rare collections that touches upon all the most beautiful parts of the wine growing world, both deep and broad in its scope. Most every wine was purchased on release and stored in an impeccable temperature and humidity-controlled facility.
“A gorgeously spicy and expressive nose consists of mostly black fruit and floral aromas that are beginning to display some secondary character. There is good richness but also good precision to the still relatively tight, medium-full and noticeably structured flavors that possess an impressively long though slightly edgy and austere finish. While this could certainly be drunk now, I would strongly recommend decanting it for at least 30 minutes first. Better still would be to allow this another 5 to 7 years of bottle age, as the ’96 Riche easily has 20-year-plus potential, though I have my doubts as to whether this is ever going to completely harmonize—indeed I would go so far as to bet against it.” (92 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2017)
"A gorgeous, spicy and expressive nose of mostly black fruit aromas combines with rich, sweet and still tight medium full and quite firmly structured flavors that possess a long though slightly edgy and austere finish. This bottle showed better than the one reviewed in the big Richebourg retrospective held in October, 2001. I would not touch another bottle for at least 5 years and this easily has 20 year+ potential as it will require a long time to completely unwind." (92 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Aug. 2010)
