    February 11, 2024 - Medium depth of colour; a very fragrant nose of cherry and orange peel; intense and savoury on the palate, with a very long finish. The youthful fruit has gone but there is still a streak of acidity. It perhaps needs a few more years to develop the complexity of a fully mature wine.

    December 23, 2023 - It was given 4 hour if air before serving. Beautiful aromatics with flowers, red fruit, coffee beans, and brown spice. It was so bright, vivid and vibrant with linear red fruit sweetness. It slowly climbed up to the apex throughout the evening. It has entered its early drinking window with clear upside.

    November 9, 2023 - This is a fabulous wine for it's intoxicating perfume and absolutely refined and classy texture. Quite structured still and it took an hour to open and then showed perfectly ripe cherry fruit combined with great cut and subtle power. This reeks of Grand Cru quality and shows a healthy dose of Chambertin minerals on the energetic and succulent finish. Luscious and fine but way young and not yet fully integrated at least from my bottles purchased on release. First of a case and hold, hold, hold but incredible potential. 96++

    September 27, 2023 - A private tasting and dinner (Restaurant Fitzgerald *, Rotterdam, NL): Powerful and complete and youthful, spicy and gamey, perhaps a bit muffled - or is it the comparison with the extremely fragrant DRC Richebourg 2000 which accompanied it? Wonderful balance and freshness, lively and elegant, wonderful weight of blue and black fruit, perfect charge of tannins, long and refined finish.

    May 27, 2023 - Rich and bright red fruit. Good freshness to this bottle, with energy on the finish. Very nice.

Burgundy-Report

    (Rousseau Armand Chambertin) Medium-plus cherry-red. Creme brulee and red fruit presented in a very linear way. Takes a few minutes in the glass to open out, but really starts to shout 'look at me!' - mainly barrel influenced notes, coffee in the background too. The palate has an extra 'fatness' to the palate vs the Bèze, fireworks here too, they build a little more slowly but to equal effect. It's hard to make a preference here - it can only be based on stylistic leanings - but today, with fewer barrel artifacts and its more 'athletic' pose, I'd take the Bèze.

    (Armand Rousseau Chambertin) Closed but whoahhhhhhh. Some serious material here. I did not drink this wine . . . .it drank me. What power. Complex nose of red cherries, spice, animal, minerals. Incredible nuance in the nose. The nose has delineation. Monstrous on the palate with huge concentration but then has so many layers on the unfolding finish. Long and dense but revealing 1/40 th of what it has to offer. I would sit on this for at least 20 years.
