The 1990 Richebourg was bursting with aromas just half an hour after opening—violet, wild cherry, dried rose, and sandalwood. The tannins were silky, yet the structure remained intact. An excellent bottle.
The 2002 Richebourg, after four hours of decanting, revealed stunningly delicate notes of face powder—extremely fine.
The 2005 RSV (Romanée-Saint-Vivant) showed creamy aromas right after opening, followed by the classic, captivating powdery perfume typical of a warm vintage. However, compared to the one from Méo-Camuzet, the DRC's powdery note carried a more grand and graceful presence.

This is a gloriously sexy, open nose. Seductive dark fruit with a real vitality. Some of that underbrush but the overwhelming impression is of a really gorgeous and opulent wine. There’s still great definition. Reminds me of 99 Rousseau and compliments don’t come higher than that.
