Saturday, September 21, 2013 - Rousseau 2009 Horizontal Tasting: With a bottle last year that was almost impossible to live up to, this came close but it does feel like it has tensed up a little bit, drawing away some of the superficial otherworldliness but leaving just as much interest and potential. That said, the longer it was in the glass the more it opened and flourished. There is licorice, oak, spice and smoke combined with a dark floral touch. The palate is just as powerful as I remember it, with force and opulence, reigned in by precise acidity. So, so close to the last bottle but ever so slightly behind - it was incredible by any measure regardless.
