2007 Alain Hudelot-Noellat, Richebourg Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 91-93

Good deep red. Wilder, more reduced aromas of black fruits and smoked meat. Rich, supple and stuffed with material; more tactile and powerful than the comparatively refined RSV, if a bit less high-pitched today. This is also more reduced, but there’s plenty of energy here for mid-term aging. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2009]
