The DRC produced splendid wines in 1990, and the Richebourg is close to reaching its plateau of maturity. A dark ruby color reveals lightening at the edge. The stunning aromatics offer intense aromas of spring flowers, black fruits, licorice, and toasty new oak. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied, with a velvety-textured palate, and sweet fruit, this smoky, rich, complex red Burgundy can be drunk now and over the next decade.

So dense and rich with layers of ripe and dense fruit. Opulent and velvety. Full and layered. Soft and luscious. Very long.

Ripe and tannic, but smoothly polished, offering several layers of spice, fruit and toast, centered around a tight core of plum and currant flavor. Has richness and elegance to spare but needs cellaring. Tasted twice, with the first bottle showing a decidedly earthy edge. Best after 1997. 1,315 cases made. ?
