Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 4, 2020 - this was my first bottle of Rousseau, had about ten years ago with Bernard L. and Gregg L. at a Menlo Park restaurant... the wine is now open if you give it several plus hours in decanter, do not skimp on this, very dense -- some might find it heavy, was a tiny bit surprised about this given the acidity of '96... anyway, great but blackish fruit on the palate, dense and bold, not "red and lifted" as I had expected... tons of spices and food flavor melange on this... and the nose was the same, culinary!... a great experience but did not meat my (perhaps unrealistic) expectations... I would buy the Jadot CSJ '15 for about 40% of the cost of this btl and wait two decades!
