Community Tasting Note

  December 15, 2016 - Aged Rousseau dinner at Les Amis. Drank alongside the Beze 81 and Chambertin 73. Medium to dark red, with just a touch of bricking at the rim. Another quite sensational nose of violets, dried roses, olives, smoked meat and damp earth along with raspberries, grapefruit and pomegranate. There was a good amount of minerals, acidity and red fruit on the palate. Very impeccably balanced, this wine lasted extremely well for 3 hours and like the Chambertin 73, showed differing characteristics at differing moments, although there was a strong sense of earth, braised and smoked meat, incense, sandalwood and black tea. With extended time, perfect mouthfeel of dark chocolate and coffee powder. Another brilliantly aged Rousseau!
