This magnum drank very youthfully last night. The nose is gorgeous with classic notes of cherry barnyard and ferrous minerals. Ethereal on the palate with good fruit intensity and a crisp yet layered mouthfeel. The finish is firm and complex with beautiful notes of cherry spice and crunchy minerals. 94+

Consistent with my previous note. An ok Rousseau CSJ but underwhelming. Ginger flowers, berries, spice and herbs. For a CSJ, the palate is too straightforward and light. 91-92

Served blind. On the nose lovely roasted meat aromas waft from the glass. On the palate there is also a lot of meatiness, very wholesome, a now wine. A really great 1998 (which often is too angular / sharp for me). Nice outperformance for the vintage from Rousseau here! Drink now and over the next 5 years.

Palate is smooth but it does has strong back bone. Well balanced acidity and tanning. Fruity, floral, peppery aroma. Very csj.

Seems consistent with previous vintage observation. Light, rocky, somewhat tawny. 91-92
