Score 90-92/100 · Neal Martin
From the oldest vines in the vineyard, 0.55 hectares planted in 1934 and 1936, the 2012 Richebourg Grand Cru has an aristocratic bouquet with broody dark berry fruit, forest floor and wet limestone scents. It is very well-defined although it needs a lot of coaxing, like waking up an old gentleman snoozing in his favorite chair. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, robust tannins. Conservative, foursquare even – this is a masculine Richebourg that is defined by its stern, almost aloof personality that seems incongruous for the vintage. Powerful and long, give bottles at least 10 years. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
