Scores and tasting notes
The medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1995 Richebourg offers an impressively intricate, dark fruit, spice, and fresh herb-scented nose. This full-bodied, massively broad and concentrated wine is densely layered with blackberries and tar-like flavors. It is tightly wound, firmly structured, and intensely deep. With cellaring it should blossom into a show-stopper. Projected maturity: 2006-2014.
