The rating for 1988 DRC Richebourg Grand Cru is 93 points from Burghound, Allen Meadows and the tasting note - Mature aromas of jam, spice and violets lead to amazingly powerful yet velvety medium-bodied flavors that are supported by firm but softening tannins which the extract buffers on the delicious, long and mouth-coating if ever-so-slightly warm finish. This mildly rustic effort has reached full maturity. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes save for one oxidized bottle.
