Richebourg, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2010

Initially there is mild reduction present but aggressive swirling coaxes remarkably complex aromas of black berry fruits, stone and a dazzling array of Asian-style spice nuances to reveal themselves. The palate impression is at once broad but focused with finely detailed, powerful, mineral-driven and wonderfully energetic large-scaled flavors that culminate in a dusty, austere and hugely long finish. This is potentially brilliant as it has everything it needs to mature into a wine of greatness. Drink starting 2025.
