Blind - was correct down to village but not producer or vineyard. More approachable than the Lafarge. While this had crunchy red fruits was still rather supple on the palate. Had a lovely focus nose that didn't requite an coaxing from the glass. Came across as rather powerful but elegant and nuanced. Could still use some time.

Good but not great. Current market value is terrible. A bit too modern in the making, quite concentrated without the purity, charm or freshness that one usually finds with Rousseau. Well balanced, rather long, smooth tanins, but quite uninspiring.

Decanted for several hours. Very young but polished with clean/precise raspberry and earth. Bright but still depth. Slight earth and game on the sides. Needs years for more depth to emerge but drinks well young.

Coming together beautifully.
Ripe rich leathery fruit
Lovely balance. And easy to enjoy

Lovely, balanced, reaching his peak, reluctant fruit but with precise finish. 94-95
