Richebourg, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret 2010

**Note: from vines adjacent to those of Domaine de la Romanée Conti in Richebourg proper totaling .31 ha; 90% whole cluster vinification**
An intensely floral and gloriously spicy nose of ripe and highly complex black cherry liqueur and rose petal aromas leads to impressively dense and brooding large-scaled flavors that possess fantastic depth and positively stunning length. I have experience with almost every Mongeard Richebourg since the first vintage in 1984 and I have never seen one with more potential than this one though not surprisingly, patience will be needed. In a word, brilliant.
