Thibault Liger-Belair Richebourg 2018

It has an intense bouquet of beautifully defined raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth, peppermint and cola aromas. The medium-bodied palate offers sappy red fruit. There is a firm backbone here, dense and grippy and almost stentorian toward the finish.

An impressive Richebourg rather than an outright delicious one at the moment, it will require considerable time in bottle.
