92 Points

Saturday, April 4, 2015 - Food: Chinese
Duration: 2 hours
Condition: Perfect
Aroma: Blueberry, red date, earthiness
Note: Armand Rousseau is one of my favorite makers in Burgundy. 1993 is an excellent year for many burgundy wines, this one is pretty good, but not great. I can see the limitations of Charmes chambertin in this wine. CC lacks the depth in C and CCdB but also couldn't deliver the fineness in LC and MC. I personally haven't really enjoyed a good bottle of CC except for the Dominique Laurent 2006 which to be honest was more like VR than GC. Nevertheless, this bottle still feels pretty energetic, I personally think that it can be drank between now and 2022 without a problem. Problem of CC is that the earthiness is very distinctive yet cannot integrate well with the fruits.
