November 20, 2023 - Red fruited, some earthy forest floor, still feels quite fresh with good acidity, some mintiness / fresh green herbs. A nice wine, but a bit underwhelming given the price.

November 19, 2023 - Utregs Wijnhuis tasting Exclusief (Utrecht, NL): Medium+ intensity with some barnyard, forest floor, red fruit, black currant, black cherry. Medium+ acidity, low tannins, medium+ finish. Soft and sensual on the palate.

March 1, 2023 - Rousseau Gevrey 2002 is not usually a wine I rate too highly but the 02 is astonishing village. Sweet, earthy and sexy in such a relaxed great seductive spot it's stunning if you have a perfect bottle. This was blind twice for me and both times consistent showing, every time among Rousseau GCs (CdR and Ruchottes) and it held it's own generally the vintage a plus despite less complexity than the GCs.

February 4, 2023 - With duck confit and lentils.
Garnet colour with some brick coloring from age. The legs are slow.
Started tight, strawberries, short with high acidity. Opened after about an hour. Developed blackberry, forest floor, black pepper and prune on the nose.
Black currant (cassis), fig, forest floor, mushroom and tea palate. The body is light/medium with silky tannins and plenty of acidity. The wine finishes very long. Impressive but was looking for more power -- slightly light mid palate. -

August 17, 2020 - Middle-aged Burgundy with all of the components present but everything comes out very quietly and at its own pace. Soft red cherry, root vegetable/beet root impressions with anise, a slightly menthol quality, a pop of vague spice (cinnamon) and moss. Very silky tannins and showing supreme elegance. I think this just needs time! 5-8 years more easily. Will always show the Rousseau elegance, though. Classy.

11/1/2005 (link)(Rousseau Armand Gevrey-Chambertin) Medium cherry-red colour. The nose soars, high-toned and fresh, with violets and cherry-skinned fruit over toast from the creamy oak base. Some fat, fresh red-shaded fruit on the palate with a creamy texture. This is, at best, only medium weight, but there's super purity and detail, the fruit is really quite punchy on the mid-palate. I prefer the finish on the 2001 but this presents itself really well - I'll also buy a couple more of these. One negative from the last drops, the nose becomes quite estery and not that pleasant - quite a contrast to the 2001.
