December 24, 2022 - Christmas eve - no formal notes.
Initially very closed, not giving away much (despite 1 hour+ in the decanter).
Earthy, dark berries with some spices.
Intense palate, rustic and somewhat "wild", sweet cherries, earth a touch of smoked meat.
Very fine length and finish.
Allot of fruit waiting underneath - a bit tightly knit tonight.
I'd suggest to give this a bit more time, as there is plenty of stuff and I am sure a big reward for the patient.
A very fine wine in the making here.

December 12, 2022 - Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin 2012.
Litt tilbakeholden foreløpig.
Likevel småpent.
Deilig kremet frukt på smak.
Superb fruktkvalitet på denne.
Kraft og eleganse.
Meget lang med pene tanniner.
Kan med fordel ligge lenger.
Nydelig.

August 27, 2022 - Initially a little tight with earthy notes. With time really opening up somewhat and becoming pure and attractive. But ideally needs some more time.

August 27, 2022 - Very closed at the beginning. Did not reveal much beyond some earthy elements. Tannins still dense, but not rustic, so it should work out with age. After ca 2h it opened up a bit more and revealed some of the Rousseau complexity. I would drink this after 2027.

May 28, 2022 - Memorial Day Weekend Burgundy Dinner (Asian Spice House - Buchanan MI): In 07/10/12/13 vertical. Lots here but very backward, just teasing us for several hours. I meant to revisit several hours later but got distracted.
