Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2008 Richebourg is big, powerful and, not surprisingly, rather shut down. Today the tannins are quite imposing, but there is enough richness in the fruit to get a sense of where this wine is headed over the coming years. Drink Date 2018-2033. Rating 93/100. -Antonio Galloni-

Allen Meadows’ Burghound.com:

The '08 Richebourg is blessed with the most complex and most complete nose that features a wonderfully fresh and spicy aromatic profile that includes red and blue pinot fruit, plum, kirsch and an herbal hint that introduces intense, pure and mineral-driven large-bodied flavors that possess a beautiful sense of relief and tension on the hugely long finish. This very stylish effort should be great in time but it will require plenty of it. Rating 95/100. -Allen Meadows’ Burghound.com-

Vinous:

Dark bright red. Wonderfully pungent, soil-driven aromas of minerals, cocoa powder, pepper and smoke. Sappy and densely packed, with terrific mineral lift to the dark berry and saline flavors. Plenty of fruit intensity and juicy energy here, but this backward wine needs a good decade of aging to reveal itself. The long, slowly building finish displays superb grip. Rating 94+/100. -Stephen Tanzer-
