93 Points

Sunday, August 22, 2021 - The vintage has been criticized for not having much “stuffing” but the Rousseau CSJ has found a pleasant drinking plateau. There is color bricking and the fruit is a thinner mature red fruit compote, plums, blueberries with soft, dusty tannic grip yet this belies a svelte middle weight profile and a surprising aromatic lift with notes of cocoa, sous bois and camp fire complemented by a fresher saline mineral backbone. The wine lacks a little precision and has a yolky aromatic note yet there are pleasures here relative to some of the lower scores on record.
