1990 Richebourg Meo-Camuzet

15 Jan 2010:  This bottle of 1990 Richebourg Meo-Camuzet was a little disappointing, kind of echoing with Burghound's mention of bottle variation in his website.  It did not quite deliver the subtle power, persistence, perfume and energy that we expected.  Although the wine presented a complex character of leather saddle, earth, wet leaves and violet, it also carried with it a whiff of volatility which blew off after a while in the glass.  The mid-palate was a little weaker than expected, leaving us with less than memorable impression.  Wonder it was just an odd bottle or we should have drunk this bottle 3 - 4 years ago? 16/20
