Méo-Camuzet Richebourg(1990)
Tasting
Richebourg is a king of a wine: the colonnade of the Louvre, the Château of Versailles. You are impressed by its finesse, its length and its delicate sensations, endlessly changing. The fact that no element dominates the others enables you to appreciate all of its aromas, on the nose and on the palate.
Keeping
In any given vintage, Richebourg is always one of the last wines to be drunk. Not because it is too aggressive when young; simply because it needs time to reveal its full complexity.

- The Méo style of emphasizing a blend of power and finesse works extremely well in a vintage like 1990 and this is wonderfully expressive with its seductive blend of primary and secondary aromas and ripe, balanced and stunningly complex finish. I especially like the intensity and focus of the flavors and this is a picture perfect example of power without weight. Beautiful juice.
