An extraordinary expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most revered estates. The 2006 Richebourg displays deep ruby with garnet hues, offering layered aromas of ripe wild cherry, crushed violet, forest floor, and exotic spice. On the palate, silky yet powerful tannins frame flavors of black truffle, dark berry, and earthy minerality. The finish is extraordinarily long, complex, and hauntingly persistent.

Cherries, raspberries, and cinnamon explode from the glass of the medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Richebourg. A dense, bold, medium to full-bodied wine, it slathers the palate with loads of jammy red and black fruits whose flavors linger throughout its exceptionally long finish. This offering’s copious ripe and soft tannins are superb. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012.

The lovely 1989 Richebourg appears to be one of the rare wines from its vintage to still have the capacity to age and ameliorate. It possesses a medium-to-dark ruby and amber color, as well as dense dark berry and caramelized aromas. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and offers loads of sweet red cherry, plum, black pepper, juniper berry, and spice. Broad, well-structured, and velvety-textured, it also has an exceptionally long and flavorful finish. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
