Description

Richebourg 2000
Domaine de la Romanee Conti
scl
Magnum (1)


"An exuberately spicy and notably ripe, indeed even with discreet notes of torrefaction and roasted espresso beans that also reflect intense floral aromas precede big, robust, forceful austere black fruit flavors that are supported by ripe tannins though perhaps not quite as much density and length as usual. This is really quite regal but in 2000, it's more of a middle weight than its normal massive, well muscled and structured character yet this will still need another 5 to 8 years to arrive at its apogee." (92 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, March 2010)

"An exuberantly spicy and notably ripe nose displays discreet notes of torrefaction and roasted espresso beans on the overtly floral-suffused aromas. The muscular flavors are supported by ripe tannins and plenty of minerality, both of which carry over to the dusty, complex and solidly long finish. This is really quite regal and in 2000 it's more of a middle weight than its normal imposingly powerful character. For my taste, this is nearly ready and should only need another 2 to 5 years to arrive at its apogee. Tasted twice in 2023 and multiple times over the years with largely consistent notes." (94 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Sept. 2023)
