The 1981 Richebourg Grand Cru is the revelation of the night. I am unfamiliar with the vintage apropos DRC but never foresaw how well this would show. With stunning aromatics and darker fruit than the 1991, it offers hints of morels and pressed flowers, fleeting glimpses of Earl Grey and fish scales. There is real weight and backbone, to the degree that I suggested it might be La Tâche. With perfect salinity and stunning balance with utmost precision, this bowls me over. Glorious. How did they produce something as good as this in such a challenging season?Neal Martin1st March 2023
