AF Gros Richebourg 2002 750mL (Slightly Soiled/Scuffed Label)

"(like the Clos Vougeot, this was aged in 90% new oak) Medium red. Deep, sappy aromas of cherry, menthol, flowers and tobacco. Penetrating, aristocratic and gripping, with great nervosite Seems much more primary in the mouth than on the nose, with cool mineral and purple fruit flavors. Firmly structured, young and very long. This also needs a good six or seven years." - Vinous, AG94+ (ST), tasted 3/2005
