2016 Thibault Liger Belair Richebourg Grand Cru

2016 Thibault Liger Belair Richebourg Grand Cru95 Burghound A strikingly floral suffused and perfumed nose offers up a mix of violet, lavender and rose petal that adds elegance to the panoply of spicy dark fruit aromas. There is an almost painful intensity to the beautifully well detailed big bodied and superbly mineral driven flavors that possess a gorgeous mouthfeel, indeed the mid palate is almost lacy, that gives way to a wall of tannin on the serious, powerful and breathtakingly long finish.

95 Burghound - A strikingly floral-suffused and perfumed nose offers up a mix of violet, lavender and rose petal that adds elegance to the panoply of spicy dark fruit aromas. There is an almost painful intensity to the beautifully well-detailed big-bodied and superbly mineral-driven flavors that possess a gorgeous mouthfeel, indeed the mid-palate is almost lacy, that gives way to a wall of tannin on the serious, powerful and breathtakingly long finish. This stunner of a Richebourg is also going to require extended keeping as it's very, very tightly wound today.
