(Rousseau Armand Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze) Medium-plus cherry-red. A wild mix of brambly black fruit and subtle oak toast on the nose, gradually becoming higher toned with a hazelnut-coffee edge. The entry is smooth, then the wine explodes on your palate before slowly shrinking into the very long finish. Lithe and slender in complexion despite the evident concentration. Plenty of fireworks here - a very, very impressive wine.

Lafon Montrachet vertical with some great champagne and reds. (Four Seasons, Minneapolis, MN): Tasted alongside the '99 and 01. 'Chocolate covered cherries'. Lush, pure red fruit. Earth...elegance with power. Great balance. Soft tannins. Explosive finish.

THAT Rousseau night (IT Shanghai): Having tasted the 90 Beze in the previous flight, I am convinced that this wine will improve significantly with time. It opens with the same signature of lush and pure red fruit, with notes of wild strawberries and cranberries, complemented by hints of smoke and earth. On the palate, the wine transitions towards plums, black tea, hawthorn, and limestone. There is some chalky minerality with slightly sweet undertones on the mid palate. While there is an overall sense of elegance and power, it is perhaps somewhat lacking in precision and energy. On any other day, this would have been an amazing drink but in the face of stiff competition, me thinks it requires just a bit more time to develop more complexity in order to stand amongst the giants today.

Gorgeous , very elegant and still lots of room to grow. At its apex but it will be for a long time. Paired with 99 which was better but we are talking shades of excellence

An Amazing Rousseau-based Burgundy Dinner with the Seattle Vinous Group (Seattle): Saturated ruby, by far the deepest color of the 3 vintages tasted. Ripe black cherry liqueur and significant oak on the nose. Deep, sweet but rather simple dark red fruit, relatively plush, some round tannins, and lower acidity. To an extent, this still needs a lot of time, but I doubt it will ever be as complex and interesting as the ‘96 or the ‘93. The more obvious wood and absence of whole cluster signature make me wonder if there was a conscious change in vinification between 1996 and 2002. All that said, still an excellent bottle with significant potential upside. On any other night…
