Richebourg 2005 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 3 bottles banded owc "Initially this was quite firmly reduced though after 15 minutes or so of aeration, vigorous swirling coaxes ripe but fresh and superbly elegant aromas that include red, black, blue and violet scents as well as seemingly a full cupboard of Asian spices to reveal themselves. The robust, extremely rich, full-bodied and naturally sweet flavours are quite floral on the palate and culminate in a detailed and immensely long finish where the tannic spine is firm but not hard. For now this is definitely a wine to leave buried in the back of your cellar but when it is finally ready, it's going to be brilliant..." (97pts AM)
