Intoxicating nose of damp stems and tea leaves with a touch of ripe currants and spices. I could somewhat smell it as the somm approached us with the bottle from behind. He had nothing but compliments for the nose – had to pour him a glass to taste.
Palate was equally beautiful. Forest floor, blackberries, soy sauce, brewed mushrooms and a berry-laced grittyness to hold it all together. A wine packed with power and complex density. A good example of Richebourg (though not the best) from what’s supposed to be a sleeper vintage. Finish wasn’t as long as I’d like it to be as the depth and complexity broke down into a watery plump not long after swallowing.
Pairing wise? I enjoyed it because the food and wine were both great on their own. Didn’t seem to notice them complimenting each other though.
