Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Richebourg sweeps across the palate with a breathtaking combination of elegance and power. It is a huge wine that boasts tons of mineral-driven, pointed fruit with more than enough depth to fill out its broad shoulders. All of the elements build gracefully towards the intense, taut finish. The Richebourg is likely to require considerable patience. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2043.

A slightly less elegant but more complex nose that is intensely floral with a superb range of spice and fruit elements woven into the aromatic framework but the primary non-fruit nuance is a very distinctive rose petal character that gives way to detailed, pure and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors that drive home to an explosive, powerful, linear and tautly muscled finish where effects of the stem are quite evident. This is at present extremely backward and it's clear that not all of the structural elements are in sync.
Stephen Tanzer
Good medium red. Black raspberry, violet and a suggestion of dusty minerality on the nose. Dense, lush and chewy, but higher-pitched and less expressive today than the RSV. Smooth, rich, highly concentrated flavors of purple fruits and licorice. Finishes broad, saline and very long. 94+
