What a treat to drink Rousseau! Taken to a restaurant and let breathe in Zalto Burgundy glasses. Beautiful if on the young side. Perfectly balanced stewed and red fruit almost Zen-like. Some morelo cherry, green stem, and hawthorn bush notes. In time a touch of mint. This did close up some towards the glass. 95-96 now with upside in a few years.

Rousseau dinner at Jade Palace: When blinded, I said that this was the standout wine by far and I hoped that it wouldn't be the Rousseau CSJ. Gorgeous, lifted nose of fresh berries. Had a sensual, silky palate, I don't use minerality for reds often but that was present in spades here. Very much an iron fist in a velvet glove with incredible depth, when I was tasting the wine it kept giving and uncovering additional layers of dark cherry fruit. So seamless and truly a wish-you-were-here sort of wine. A bucket-list wine that lived up to expectations and more.

Super beau sur les fruits rouges. On sent bien l’effet 2017. Longue finale sur les petits fruits. Excellent

Wonderful young Rousseau - nose so enticing but body looks for Aging. Still pleasurable to drink this now.
