The dark ruby-colored 1997 Richebourg is a super wine. Its violet, herbal, spicy, and toasty nose leads to a silky textured core of amazing depth, ripeness, and harmony. It is expansive, crammed with jellied black fruits that seemingly linger forever on the oak spice-infused finish. This Richebourg will be the most pleasurable in its youth. Drink over the next 10+ years. Importer: A Peter Vezan Selection, Paris fax #011-33-1-42-55-42-93.
