Thibault Liger Belair Richebourg 2005 750mL (Slightly Scuffed Label) Red Burg grainy texture with a lively"Bright ruby red. Knockout nose offers crushed wild berries, cherry, cocoa powder and minerals. Thick but weightless in the mouth, with great precision to the flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, minerals and spices. In its dark fruit flavors, palate saturating texture and sappiness, this resembles the young 2006. I find this easier to taste today than the 2005 Clos Vougeot. But the broad, serious tannins call for a decade of cellaring." Vinous, AG94
