  • Good not mind blowing bottle. Just happens sometimes. A little dirty.

  • I was lucky to try this wine, brought by a collector friend. Quite dark vador like with an opaque color at its core, black fruits scents, some tertiary notes of forrest floor and exotic spices, the mouth is uber luxurious and velvety, with black fruits mingling with licorice and other spices, the finish is soft though, and somehow shows the maturity of the vintage. This at peak beauty can be kept but I do not see it improving further, what a wonderful experience !
    Blind I would have rated 96 but the rarity to drink at peak Rousseau deserves the bump to 98.

  • This bottle has more tertiary flavor like leather, at the same time with aroma of flower. High acidity and rough tanning. lack of structure. Tastes very sweet somehow. Less concentration and less mouth coating than I thought.

  • I last tried this 12 years ago when words simply couldn’t describe how incredible it was. Last night’s bottle had fulfilled that youthful promise. Incredibly perfumed nose of sweet red and black fruits. Notably more mature in every respect than the Leroy served alongside. Colour showed a fair bit of bricking and this bottle was clearly a point. Such intensity of sweet fruit on the palate. This bottle was showing absolutely everything it had whereas the Leroy was clearly still holding back. Outstanding. We argued back and forth about which of the two people preferred, until the last wine of the flight appeared…
