Richebourg--Vintage 1962
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: one 8cm, two 8.5cm and two 9cm; one wrinkled label, two bin soiled labels, three depressed capsules, one torn capsule top
"Fantastically complex nose of violets, spice, earth, secondary nuances of underbrush and the barest hints of sous bois followed by remarkably fine and pure, velvety, rich flavors that dance across the palate and the length here is simply phenomenal. This is not quite as rich as the '64 but it is decidedly finer, more elegant and more complex as well. One of the finest vintages I have ever tasted for this wine and it, for once, can go toe to toe with the La Tâche. Reference standard juice of reverential quality." BH, May 8, 2003
