  Perfect storage since release - tasted so full of youth and verve. Tannins mostly integrated safe for the finish. Medium plus aromatics of maturing Gevrey. Palate is a full-on show - a mille-feuille of seemingly endless layers and nuances. Supremely elegant. Forest floor, pine/menthol, deep cherry, haunting. Goosebumps.

  Firing on all cylinders. This is at a great place now. All about elegance and refinement. True to the plot and the vintage. Rousseau really nailed this vintage.

  Served served blind (know it's 1990-2002 and good producer plus top 1er or GC) to me and it was my lucky day as I managed to guess this correctly. Initially a slight touch of funk on the nose that blew off quickly, it was so very Gevrey with earthy and peppery notes. A very relaxed and resolved wine, markedly more visually developed with some browning compared to the MG CdV 99 in the other glass. Good fruit intensity still but probably it's really prime time now for this baby. I would pop corks and enjoy the ride, a very unappologetically classic and great CSJ with heart and soul.

  200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Nose of red fruit as well, very light, some good plum coming through. A bit watery. Very composed, very precise. I continue to struggle with the tannins and palate weight of the CSJ of Rousseau. I have yet to see a top sample where both elements are in place. I generally prefer Fourrier's CSJ. Anyway, verdict: Aroma 96, palate 93
