Richebourg--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Two lightly scuffed labels, bottles numbered 757-761, 763-768
"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. Tasted on multiple occasions with consistent notes."

11 bottles per lot
