12/8/2020 - La Flama Blanca Likes this wine: 100 pointsMuscular, dense and virile Chambertin. A Burgundy of tension and bracing energy that is transcendental and deeply beautiful. It is fantastically complex and expressive in the glass showing sweet and richly textured fruits, scorched earth and exotic spice on the minéralité finish. An imposing Burgundy that captivates and penetrates the soul. WOTN! |

8/4/2018 - Kemo Sabe Likes this wine: 100 pointsSecond time having this in the past few months. Incredibly, from the same friend whose generosity knows no bounds. Consistent notes. This is a perfect wine. Lovely red and black fruits. A complete wine. Complex, nuanced and savory. In a perfect spot right now. Lots of precision here. Thank you Bill J! |

4/7/2018 - Kemo Sabe Likes this wine: 100 pointsThrough the incredibly generosity of Bill J I was able to drink this incredible wine. Amazingly bright red fruit, a bowl of bright red cherries, red raspberries, some nuttiness. The nose comes aggressively out of the glass - no coaxing needed. This has everything - perfectly aged fruit, silky tannins, balance, complexity, depth, character, stuffing, finish and length. It simply doesnt get better than this. Thanks Bill. |

In no way the closed and surly wine I had anticipated to encounter, but aren't truly great wines great at any age? Perfection. Half a century in it at least. |

4/23/2017 - MattLA Likes this wine: 100 pointsFirst of all, the aromatics are off the charts. This wine is fruit filled, minerally elegance with a long balanced finish. I wish I had a lot more of this. I'll save my last bottle and drink it in ten years. |

Obviously very youthful, but pure cherry fruit that's incredibly delineated. Finish goes on and on. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

5/9/2023 - RobinTeo Likes this wine: 100 pointsTHAT Rousseau night (IT Shanghai): This was my favorite of the night and it represents the pinnacle of Burgundy winemaking - laser precision and utmost perfection. I never knew and imagined how such knife edge balance could be achieved with such power and finesse. Dark fruit, orange peel, iron and red plums take center stage while dried violets, sage, blood orange, smoke and dark spices persist on the palate. Lovely mineral base supporting the underlying lush sweet fruit with a touch of earth. Wonderfully complexed and rich with layers of silky textures pointing towards a long harmonious finish with silky tannins. In short, it is simply stupendous. While drinking fantastically today, would be most privileged to try this again in 5 to 10 years as it gets even more complexed and rounded out. |

8/10/2013 - AJ72 wrote: 100 pointsGreat Dinner Wines (Healesville Victoria): I was lucky enough to try this ten years ago and at the time I thought great wine but will it ever evolve into the stunning Chambertin wines I had seen previously? In its youth it had all the silk and composure of a great wine but gave absolutely no indicator of the greatness it would one day express as it did tonight. Yes it was Grand cru pedigree but that majestic aroma of Chambertin was not present, not even a tiny bit. In short when I first tried this wine ten years ago it did not in any way resemble the wine we had tonight. I realise now with experience tasting the wines from this region what a waste it was to open this ten years earlier. This vineyard and the Clos de Beze from Rousseau have produced the most electrifying wine experiences I've ever had in my life. This 99 is the absolute top of the tree. I have only scored a few 100 pointers but I can not express how profound this wine was to me and a unanimous favourite around the table. A perfume so perfect and a palate to match. Extraordinary length. On this showing I would say perfect maturity. My only suggestion is you try it now before you die and the 99 La Tache but you'll need to wait another twenty years for that wine to show its best. Incredible. Check out my original note ten years ago on this wine. I had no idea! |

We had it alongside 1993. When just poored the 1993 outshone this wine, but after 15/30 minutes... Spicy, powerful nose. Such a development in the glass... this is truly great. It just goes on and on and on... This has incredible reserves, this is potentially so great. Perfect balance. Incredible complexity. 20/20 |

10/24/2009 - AJ72 wrote: 100 pointsThis wine is incredible. Every aspect of its make up is perfect. One of the most pure terroir driven wines I have ever seen which left us speechless. The definition to the aromas and palate are mindblowing. Almost reduced to tears. This is the yardstick of great Burgundy for me. This bottle was every bit as good as the last (see note). Truly extraordinary that one can be moved as much the second time around. |

7/9/2007 - AJ72 wrote: 100 pointsTasted at annual DBGCBU lunch: Nose had an incredible lift, slightly reductive, hugely intense and pure minerality. A perfume that defies description, with every nuance every detail expressing the climat like a well conducted orchestra. The palate also had the same qualities, huge intensity and layers of flavour. A hugely seductive voluptuous wine but not in the blockbuster sense. Pure Burgundian royalty. Tasted next to the 93 CHA which looked very adolescent and yet to spread its wings. Brilliant. |

Simply perfect nose displaying perfectly ripe blackberries, cornucopia of flowers, coffee beans, exotics spices, a hint of vosne spice and mineral. The nose remains perfect but constantly evolving and changing. Though so much going on in the nose, all components interplay beautifully and perfectly harmonious. Deceptively light as the palate is incredibly polished and silky. Perfect balance and precision. Despite being young, incredibly complex and drinking perfectly. I recall Jeremy H and Paul H mentioned this is actually better than the Beze. I didn’t think so earlier but now I agree based on this example. The Beze is more intense but this is even purer and more precise. One of the greatest young wines of my life. Perfect in every way! The best wine unanimously. |

3/26/2017 - MattLA Likes this wine: 100 pointsI felt bad opening one of my two bottles of this so early, until I tasted it. This is quite unreal. I've only had one Burgundy that I thought was a smidge better. The nose is explosive. This wine is profound in every sense of the word. |

6/27/2016 - Collector1855 wrote: 100 pointsChambertin During a tasting dinner. We opened this wine in both anticipation and trepidation. Would it be drinkable this young or be tannic and sturdy? From the first sip it was clear this was not only drinkable but utterly sublime due to its silky structure focused aromatics. Very light and shiny ruby color. The aromas included red fruit, a touch of barnyard, licorice, earth. The elegance was simply fantastic and on par with the two DRC's we drank a day before. WOW, hands down one of the best burgundies I ever had and a clear 100 pointer wine! A pity that this wine is not only expensive but also hard to source. |

7/1/2021 - kr522 wrote: 99 pointsmaybe even better than the bottle from 6 months ago, we had this next to the 99 Beze, and after a brilliant combo of 90/91 Beze, and for my taste this was WOTN along with the 90 Beze. It's really starting to show off what it's got, and yet feels like there could be more in reserve. Perhaps more complexity to be gained with aging....i don't know, just that this is remarkable wine, and as I said in a different TN I think Rousseau is making some of the best red burgs out there |
