  April 20, 2024 - Armand Rousseau Dinner: Pronounced nose intensity with notes of mushroom, truffle, graphite, red fruits, spices, toast. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Long finish. Aeration 4 hours in bottle. Surprisingly for a weaker vintage in 2001 it’s still performing very well.

  April 13, 2024 - Red and black plum, smoked meat, an herbal note (someone thought celery, I thought celery seed), quite complex and long. Not one of the Rousseau big 3, but nice showing. B+/A-

  May 10, 2021 - Earthy and pure. Highly-perfumed red and blue fruits. Mid-weight but near perfect balance and proportion. So silky of texture and good persistence.

  April 19, 2021 - Decanted for nearly 4 hours as we were told this bottling might be tight. Beautiful mellow red fruit, sous bois, and prominent black tea notes. Balanced acidity, integrated tannins, so just a really tasty drinking bottle. Continued to unfurl with time, so definitely a bottle worthwhile decanting
