Richesse 2023

93+
/100

Rødvinscuvéen Richesse består af Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc og Malbec. Vinene gæres separat efter druesort i traditionelle, åbne betontanke. Aflejring finder sted i tanke, hvorefter vinene modnes i franske barriques. Efter et års lagring blandes basisvinene og modnes i yderligere 8 måneder i 225 liters fade og 4500 liters egetræstanke, aldrig nyt egetræ. En behersket, men meget tiltalende næse. Aromaer af røde frugter, kværnet peber og fintmalet grafit med et strejf af egetræ. Vidunderligt saftig og mundfyldende i smagen, smag af røde bær, blommer og mørke kirsebær, næsten pikant, utrolig spændende og fuld af spænding, så saftig, så indbydende charmerende. Så kommer der en smuk røget note, indrammet af en fin, blød, endda fløjlsagtig tanninstruktur og en storslået, afrundet, forbløffende lang finish fuld af intensitet og et frugtagtigt kick.

Parker om: Richesse

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon with Cinsault, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot in supporting roles, the Le Riche 2023 Stellenbosch Richesse reflects its Bordeaux sensibility in a lighter, more accessible style. Fermented components are aged initially in small seasoned oak before blending and further aging in larger format barrels, with no new oak employed. The palate is fresh and supple, marked by powdery tannins and immediate drinkability. A 50% portion of whole-bunch Cinsault contributes aromatic lift and gentle tannic texture.

Suckling om: Richesse

This sleek red has aromas of black olives, blackberries, fresh black plums, graphite and tobacco. It’s medium- to full-bodied with excellent freshness, fine and powdery tannins and an elegant finish. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% cinsault, and 10% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Tim Atkin om: Richesse

Richesse is the entry-point red from Christo Le Riche, made with Cabernet Sauvignon, 25%Cinsault and 10% Cabernet Franc, but no Petit Verdot or Merlot in 2023. Floral, elegant andappealingly perfumed, it's a juicy, appealingly drinkable blend with plum, cassis and summerberry flavours, negligible oak and fine-boned tannins.

Galloni om: Richesse

The 2023 Richesse is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cinsault and 10% Cabernet Franc. This is just missing a bit of lift on the nose, demanding a lot of aeration before scents of mulberry, dark chocolate and juniper emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with gritty tannins. I appreciate the acidity here and there is something old school about this Heritage cuvée, reminiscent of a Leeu Passant. Not terribly long, yet there is freshness and complexity in this wine from Le Riche.
