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.

Disappointing and a far cry from the wine we rated classic four years ago. Has some good red berry, gingerbread and spice flavors and fine tannins, but lacks focus and seems a bit flat. The finish was shorter than expected. If it's in your cellar, try a bottle.--Leroy vertical.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Richebourg Select to Add
