Christmas Eve "Eve" or Twas the Night Before the Night Before with Some Really Great Wines (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour plus. Another older bottle that was in fantastic shape. Drank next to the '96 Jadot Ech. The nose has a dry forest floor, damp earth mixture, cherry, almost candied in character, savory, hints of molasses. The palate offers candied cherry, kirsch, raspberry liqueur, high toned red fruits, savory, mineral, brown sugar, spicebox, long finish, integrated tannins. Thoroughly enjoyable and a special treat to drink with age on it.

Pre-2002 Rousseau Dinner (WS NYC): Very good with more red fruit and a mature depth.

A stunning glass of wine with remarkable density, concentration and layers of complexity. Totally at peak.

Transparent red fruit with significant cherry notes. Very clear and pure. Smooth and focused palate.
