  Mini Vertical of ‘12, ‘15, and ‘17 Rousseau LSJ @ Casa Dani NYC. To me ‘12 was WOTN: the most classically Burgundian/Gevrey filled with earthy notes, fine and faintly gritty, most harmonious and ready to go. Not profound like higher end bottlings but plenty to philosophize over.

  Perhaps guilty of infanticide here - decanted for two hours - deep colour, violet and damson nose, rich and long palate, tannins soft but still structured suggesting more time in bottle might be needed. A lovely mouthful.

  Worst bottle of Rousseau I've ever had. So much Brett and very disappointing....

  When Pnp, the wine is pale purple in colour, which is a rather worrying appearance. The wine is not expressive on the nose and palate.
  
  After having 1-4 hours of aeration (in a Zalto Burgundy glass), the wine starts to turn into deep garnet, and flavours of red fruit, minerality, mushroom, meat and rose petal jam starts to reveal themselves. It is a lot more intense and a tad too sweet for a Gevrey Chambertin, but all balanced by fruit-wrapped acid and very find tannins.
  
  The wine only starts to harmonise in the 5th hour, and it keeps on getting better.
  
  This is definitely too young to be enjoyed now. Will revisit after a few years of cellaring.

  2017 Villa d’Este Wine Symposium - Kelly and Kevin's excellent adventure; 11/9/2017-11/14/2017 (Villa D’este, Lake Como and Milan): Medium expressive nose displaying ripe red and black fruit, strawberry, black cherry, strawberry jam, very floral, sap and strong earthy mineral. Good concentration, silky and polished, generous sweet red fruit, medium acidity, strong mineral presence and a medium to long sweet red fruit and mineral driven finish. Initially very polished impression but after the others, seems a bit straightforward. Nevertheless, it is a very good wine that is still open for business.
