Richebourg--Vintage 1971
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 4cm; good color
"In contrast to another magnum tasted in the big Richebourg tasting of 2001, as here the nose is incredibly complex, indeed more complex than either the La Tbche or Romanie-Conti with incredible dried rose petal, spice and touches of sous bois followed by mouth coating flavors that deliver superb detail plus a finish that is class personified. This is drinking beautifully now from this format and should continue to do so. 96/now+ ,,NB: The original note from the Richebourg tasting is: Extremely ripe, even a touch roasted with rich, forward, extremely complex fruit framed by hints of sous bois followed by mouth coating flavors that just ooze class. This is drinking beautifully now from this format and 750 ml bottles are tiring unless perfectly stored, preferably at 55 degrees or less. By no means the biggest DRC Richebourg I've ever had but this does offer plenty of elegance, complexity and balance." BH, Oct 21, 2005
