The score for 2008 DRC Richebourg Grand Cru is 95 points from Allen Meadows, The Burghound and the tasting note - A slightly less elegant but more complex nose that is very pinot with a superb range of spice and fruit elements woven into the aromatic framework but the primary non-fruit nuance is a very distinctive rose petal character that gives way to detailed, pure and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors that drive home to an explosive, powerful and tautly muscled finish. Like the Grands Ech, this is very primary and backward at present and the component pieces, particularly the tannic spine, have not yet completely harmonized yet it's not hard to imagine that this should be very impressive in time..lots of time that is. Drink - 2028+.
