Richebourg--Vintage 1986
1 bottle per lot
Richebourg--Vintage 1986 Côte de Nuits, H. Jayer Level: 1.5cm "Initial bricking on the rim with a ruby center. Initially, a remarkably pure, fresh and airy nose combines both primary and secondary pinot fruit aromas and touches of earthy, spice and hints of game and smoke but this moves decidedly towards mostly secondary notes with extended air. The flavors are sweet and classy but they do not entirely escape the backend astringency that tends to mark the vintage. There is almost a somewhat rustic feel to this wine because the slightly under ripe tannins aren't masked by either the density or the power. A fine effort for the vintage but not a great one by the impeccably high standards of this wine. Drink up sooner than later." BH, Jan 1, 2005 1 bottle per lot
