1988 DRC Richebourg Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 96 points, Wine Spectator 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1988 DRC Richebourg Grand Cru from Robert Parker - The Richebourg was an explosive wine with an earthy, cinnamon, gingery, soy sauce aroma backed up with the intense smell of plums and toasty new oak. Extremely rich, full bodied, and awesomely proportioned, this heroic wine should be drunk from the late nineties through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. It seems bigger, fuller, and more powerful than even the celestial 1985. The prices for the wines of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti may be exorbitant but the quality of the wines produced in the eighties is truly remarkable. .
