Richebourg AF Gros 2018 (750ML)

92-94 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2018 Richebourg Grand Cru has a very pure and refined bouquet that perhaps comes across more like a Romanée-Saint-Vivant in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, finely tuned acidity with quite high-toned red cherry fruit laced with kirsch and iodine. It does not quite match the superlative 2016 or 2017, but it remains a fine Richebourg." 1/20

93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: “The markedly ripe yet elegant, complex and airy aromas of both red and dark currant that are spiked with a variety of floral, spice and wet stone traces. The palate impression of the tautly muscular and much more mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors is more refined if less seductive while delivering just a bit more persistence on the balanced finale. This is presently on the slightly toasty side and it too needs to add depth, but the underlying material appears to be more than up to the job and overall, this seems very promising.” 4/21 #82
