The one with Luca Roagna (Teochew Paradise): Pop and poured into decanter for 15 mins before serving. Flamboyant bouquet with iron, violets, roses and macerated plums with persistent fruit concentration on the palate along with dried leaves, blood orange, dried roses and gevrey spice. While plenty of fruit, this was slightly lean and thin on the palate although it culminated in a regal fashioned finish with plenty of length and fruit concentration. Truly, Rousseau's Clos st Jacques are a special bunch.

Pronounced nose intensity with notes of red fruits, cherry, strawberry, lead, violet, flora. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Drinking at its peak now.

This showed very 2001. Pretty lean dried red cherry fruits surrounded by a nice firm acid structure. A fine wine, but overshadowed by the riper 2003 served along side. Very good, but short of greatness as this is a more muted less giving version.

(Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques) Medium dark cherry red color with pale meniscus; ripe cherry, vanilla oak nose; tasty, ripe cherry, lavender and mineral palate; medium-plus finish 93+ pts..
(Rousseau Armand Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.Jacques) Again medium colour. The nose whilst subdued is more interesting than the previous 'Ruchottes'. Lovely in the mouth - great fruit. Mouth-watering acidity and good tannin. Excellent.
(Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos St. Jacques") Crazy nose. So much going one. Palate is even better. Very intense and structured with lots of fruit, spice and earth. This is structured for the long haul. The finish does not end. The inner mouth perfume is unbelievably compelling. This has Grand Cru grip. This is the polar-opposite of Meo-Camuzet. The color is very light almost like Truchot. This is great.
