WINE TALK

A restaurant close to a facility that I will be travelling to has these DRCs on their list, and I know they appear to be fairly affordable. Anything stand out as a must buy?

Well, I’m no DRC expert but the one that grabs me (for the price) is the 2000 Richebourg.

3

00 Eche for $385 is cheap, but if I had to pick one I would go for the 87 RSV.

4

I’d say 2000 Richebourg as well. 2000 DRC echezeaux is drinking really nice too right now.

5

01 richebourg and rsv

6

That $1,400 bottle. Shape up.

7

88 RSV, never had an E that wowed me.

8

I’ve had 88 RSV and Richebourg in the last several years and both were outstanding. Enjoy!

9

1991 Echez a WOW bottle

10

I would do 88 Richebourg or 91 RSV. I think 91 is drinking great at this point.

11

Yeppers - the '88 Richebourg is better than the Tache IMHO. Nick is correct when he says that '91 RSV is drinking just fine now [cheers.gif]. The first one that jumped out at me was the '00 Richebourg though - I bet this would be a good choice also.

12

'88 RSV or the '88 Riche. Either will be sublime!!

13

Also it depends on what you are looking for. If it’s big fruit and opulence then go with the 2000. The 88 Richebourg should have plenty of structure. The 91 RSV will be more ethereal and delicate. Relatively speaking.

15

I’d drink the 01 rsv. I love that bottle.

16

Not ONE of those bottles is “affordable” :wink:

17

would be all over lots of those.

18

01 riche and rsv plus all the 91s.

19

Surprised people think the '88’s are so great…

I’ve had them a number of time’s, and they have never really been great. Still with quite a bit of of tannic structure and don’t really look ready yet.

Count me also as not being such a great fan of DRC’s '91’s either. They always seem quite rustic.


I’d go either the '00’s which are all drinking well, or the '06’s.

DRC made great '06’s, and these (welll the last one I had about 4 months ago anyway) haven’t shut down, and they are truly lovely wines.

Even the Ech. is very good.

This is good advice here. Very good prices.
