2017 Thibault Liger-Belair Richebourg Grand Cru

(92-94 Points)  ---  (Burghound)

An exuberantly spicy nose of black cherry, violet, lilac and Asian-style tea is trimmed in a touch of wood toast. There is once again good detail and minerality to the quite muscular and powerful flavors that are shaped by fine but very firm tannins that make their presence felt on the youthfully austere, compact and impressively long finish. Patience strongly advised.   Review Date: 01/2019
