Community Tasting Note
MonsterTruck Does not like this wine:
85 Points
Tuesday, May 10, 2022 - The 93 Rousseau CSJ was not good. My friend opened 2 bottles and left one that was undrinkable at home. The 2nd one wasn’t much better. Just tired and over the hill. Bottle wasn’t heat damaged that we could tell. The 2nd bottle was drinkable, but just very little fruit and not a moving wine. 85 points

Both had perfect fills and corks.

But you're saying you don't know how many times these wines have been resold and how they've been stored. Maybe it's just me, but I think the market should discount heavily in such a situation, but obviously it doesn't.
