Richebourg, Hudelot Noellat

Note:

(opened from personal storage). Still quite deeply colored. An intensely spicy and strikingly layered dark berry fruit nose displays only a trace of secondary character, indeed it`s almost hard to believe that this is already 15 years of age. There is excellent intensity to the tautly muscular, restrained but rich and mineral-inflected big-boned flavours that are supported by a firm tannic spine on the powerfully long and driving finish. This is still very much on the way up and while it could certainly be enjoyed now, particularly with some air, I would be inclined to wait for at least another 5ish years first as more improvement is almost certainly in the offing.
