1988 Richebourg, Domaine Leroy

This wine still has deep ruby colour. On nose it has fairly high intensity aromas of red plum, rose tea, licorice, redberry, floral garden, fruit plate with touch of toast and earth. It is dry with medium acidity, medium alcohol and bodied. The tannin is at medium level and fine-grained in nature. On palate, it has slightly over medium intensity flavours of plum, redberry, licorice, floral and touch of earth and spice. Fairly long length with rose and plum lingering finish. (93)

如果不是餘韻咁誘人，我會比少一分。酒有著引人入勝的香氣，是會令人腦海中有畫面的，酒在口中雖然仍有一定表現，但不及香氣，層次及複雜性亦差了點，但吞嚥後的餘韻隱隱約約的，令人回味，好飲，即使27年酒，仍保持著這優雅的花果味，十分難得。
