  Mineral, earthy, nice depth of black fruit.
  Rich on the palate.
  Fine tannins not quite resolved, lots of acidity.

  Elegant, wonderful berry fruit. Clearly in decline, so drink up.

  It started off quite tight with whiffs of meat and cherry. It really blossomed to show some florals, earth and a sweet intoxicating perfume. It had real depth and a sensual silky texture. There’s structure and freshness but everything is perfectly harmonious and in perfect proportion.

  The 1999 Rousseau Cazetiers is a lovely bottle of Gevrey, which needs a bit of a decant to blow off some notes of reduction, transforming in the glass to deliver a stunning bouquet of red plums, woodsmoke, roast squab and Gevrey soil tones. Expansive, deep and effortlessly elegant on the palate, the wine has a great core of melted tannins and crunchy acidity and a very long finish. There is a completeness here that places this in the very upper echelons of 1er cru Burgundy. Funny to think that without that decant very little of all this would have been apparent.
