1996 Richebourg, Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Quite deep ruby coloured. Close to pronounced aromas of rose, red cherry, wild berries, licorice, menthol, earth, cabbage, forest floor and touch of cinnamon and cedar, quite light. Dry with medium acidity, Medium alcohol and smooth tannin, with slightly fuller than medium bodied. The flavour intensity is slightly over medium with flavours of rose, plum, cabbage, mushroom, licorice and cedar. Fairly long length with wild red cherry finish. (93) Light in style on nose but turn heavy on palate, interesting.

酒頗精彩。酒香強烈複雜，整體香氣予 人一種輕柔感，絕對不是只得花香一種。酒在口中柔順可口，可能是酒香的關係，酒體令人感覺較重了點，其實主要是酒味的問題。酒味複雜性仍可保持，但一些較重的酒味出了來而酒香的輕柔感冇了。餘韻亦長，非常有趣。
