09|07|06|02|01|96|90 vertical. WOTN and a glorious Rousseau with beaming, rich, decadent meat-filled black cherry fruit. This has it all — depth, purity, complexity, concentration, energy. At peak.

For me WOTN of Rousseau CSJ 88/94/95/96/99/07 by a whisker for today's enjoyment. A very dark fruited palate, with noble earth, very "clean" / more pure than the other vintages, lots of stealth in this and probably great now but for next 20 years too. Lovely showing!

Purchased on release and stored in cold cellar. Medium ruby colour with no bricking and bright Tayberry bathed in barnboards on the nose. Palate still tight with a viscous blending of brambleberry's and Tulare tangy cherries, expanding on the back end with a silky, gamey white pepper finish. Very 1996 and a great CSJ still needing time. Rousseau CSJ perennially develops into one of the top ten 1er crus in Burgundy. Best 2026-2050.

(Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques) Light red color; deep and expansive cherry and bramble nose with notions of herbs; delicious, rounded, sappy tart cherry and red fruit palate, tasty and elegant; medium finish 93+ pts.

Rousseau Clos St Jacques and Corton-Charlemagne Dinner (Sepia - Chicago IL): In vertical. Lots of dense and powerful black fruit with, with noticeable structure. Less complexity vs my favorite vintages tonight, but some preferred it based on its sheer size and volume.

From magnum. Umami gaminess to this bottle. Fruit and ripeness fully in control in this bottle.
