Description:
Thibault Liger BelairRichebourg2011
Cote de Nuits
"This is (also) brooding though (again) aggressive swirling liberates exceptionally fresh and intensely floral aromas that also feature notes of various red berries and a beautiful array of spice notes that include anise, hoisin, soy and sandalwood. There is extraordinary intensity to the mineral-driven, focused and powerful imposingly scaled flavors that are tightly wound around a core of ripe but very firm tannins before exploding in a mouth coating and palate staining finish. This is a classic Richebourg and presently very austere that will require at least 12 to 15 years to shed its considerable tannins." Burghound, 94 pts. 01/14
