The scores for 2018 DRC Richebourg Grand Cru - Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy - 98, BurgHound.com - 97, Tim Atkin, MW - 97, Decanter - 97, CellarTracker - 97, Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch - 97, Vinous - 96, The Wine Advocate - 94. The rating for 2018 DRC Richebourg Grand Cru is 96-98 points from Vinous and the tasting note - The 2018 Richebourg Grand Cru boasts one of the most expressive aromatics from barrel, offering dark berries mixed with crushed limestone, pressed flowers and oyster shell, the fruit becoming more intense with aeration. The palate is extremely cohesive with unerring symmetry, filigreed tannins (perhaps more like a Romanée-Saint-Vivant) and immense depth endowed upon its arching, cathedral-like structure. This is a brilliant Richebourg in the making.
