Jean Grivot, Richebourg 1999
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Tasting note: The fully mature nose exhibits a beautifully complex array of mostly secondary red and black fruit trimmed with a touch of wood and leads to robust, moderately structured, deep and sappy flavors that offer outstanding length and only a bit of the typical '95 astringency. This has just now arrived at its peak though it should hold here for at least another decade and it's possible that there may be a modicum of improvement yet to come. Tasted twice recently. 94p Burghound November 2015
