1997 Richebourg, Gros Frere et Soeur
This wine is all that Richebourg should be. Intense, deep color--you'd never guess to look at it that it's 27 years old. Powerful, complex aromas and flavors. A classic expression of Burgundian pinot noir. There is still a bit of unresolved acidity and tannin poking out, although these resolve as the wine sits in the glass. I may have opened this too early (!). It is enjoyable now (but be sure to decant it well in advance), especially with food, but there's no hurry to drink it up. Double Curly Moe.
