Le 95 me parait légèrement fatigué, on retrouve de belle notes tertiaires, un fruit qui tire sur le cuit mais tout de même très savoureux. J'aime beaucoup son profil plus âgé mais ça reste encore bien droit.

nez un peu fermé que le 1996, moins complexe que mais cependant c’est pour moi le 2e vin de la soirée avec le 2002. Les aromes se répète, Framboise, cuir, sous-bois, champignons, épices, etc La bouche est excellente et plus ouverte que le nez, on sens la matière et l’élevage plus structuré que le 1996, plus masculin, moins en finesse. Super vin, plus grossier mais fort agréable 93

Rousseau is always one of the very best Domaines in Burgundy for me and not long ago were relatively inexpensive considering. Not now. The world has come for Rousseau so I can no longer afford the luxury. At least I can console myself with memories from these pages. It was a simple life but I digress..... This wine shows all the reasons why Rousseau is so good albeit on a smaller less spectacular scale. At nearly 25 years old this wine is still singing a beautiful song. It has reached a level of maturity which is just about perfect and like all the best Rousseau's it has the trademark supple texture and a fine bone china framework to encapsulate a complex array of flavours. Drinking Rousseau never gets old but probably best to drink this before the sun sets.

Paling at rim. Russet rim. Slow legs. Bruised red apple aromas, slight funk and black cherry, sweet mushroom. Very autumnal. Medium acidity, high fine tannin. Not so complex but a good wine to have with game/goose! It does have the persistence, perfume and length of a fine wine but needs drinking now.

Palish crimson, slightly cloudy but clean. The nose a little mean, moderate red fruits, some farmyard and a little mushroom. On the palate one immediately notices the acidity, a little high but not excessive. The palate also slightly austere, a faint note of strawberries but the dominante note is of undergrowth and mushroom, as one might expect of a wine of a Charmes of this age. Tannins were soft and round and moderate. All in all, this wine seemed past its best although it was perfectly servicable still. For the money I think you could enjoy a much younger, fresher bottle, not necessarily of Charmes Chambertin, but certainly in the region, and enjoy a far nicer bottle.
