    February 15, 2024 - Tobacco and rose petal nose. Elegant, mainly red fruits, still young and primary, with some tertiary tobacco behind, along with some oaky char and tar. No farmyard, this is super clean and pure. Medium body, good acidity and very fine moderate tannins. Long finish, still quite straightforward with some complexity. Drinking now but will continue to develop positively for a couple of decades.

    January 28, 2024 - Champagne and Burgundy evening (Private home in Arlington, Virginia): Among the three Pinot Noirs enjoyed this evening, this seemed to be almost Pauillac in nature, with evident lead pencil/graphite reflecting power and depth. There is a distinct dark cherry note, indeed, rather the pit of a juicy black cherry that beguiles the senses, especially as it also exudes floral notes. But unlike the Volnay tasted before, this wine includes an almost fiery mid palate, as if graced with a dollop of port: 1999 was a ripe vintage. And so pleasingly framed by nuanced structure that exudes both grip and polish, making me think "pristine balance." While the Volnay was far more floral, this was more dark fruit and graphite, with more impressive palate depth, essentially layer upon layer unfolding that rather amazes the senses. I realize that experts say that Clos St Jacques is not Grand Cru, but this producer crafts the best Clos St Jacques I have ever had, and 1999 is superb. Long, magical finish. And it has the concentration to last at least another 20 years if not more. Thanks to Chris Bublitz for this generous offering. 13% alcohol

    July 1, 2023 - My third time with this wine and it's obviously really good but feels like this is just still 5-10 years too young before it truly reveals it's beauty. In CSJ vertical 88/94/95/96/99/07. I think there are a lot of other nearby vintages you rather open today (e.g. 95-98, 00)

    February 11, 2023 - Chez W, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, browner rimmed and more evolved but otherwise in line with last bottle noted in Sept 21, maybe touch of caramel added to the velvety mouthfeel, usual Rousseau class, possible upside yet, 20+ years. VF (18.5).

    November 6, 2022 - 2022 Excellent Burgundy Adventure; 10/31/2022-11/6/2022 (Burgundy): Excellent appearance. Medium expressive complex nose displaying fully mature black and red fruit, black cherry, strawberry, sap, rose, leather, sous bois, raw cep, caramel, cinnamon and earth. Excellent concentration very finely layered mature black and red fruit, silky and harmonious, perfect amount of acidity, earthy mineral, and a long ripe black fruit driven finish with sous bois and leather at the end. This is a powerful but slightly rustic showing. If plan to open now, it should be served in a small gathering and enjoy over a few hours.

    (Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos St. Jacques") This was great for the fifteen minutes it was open. After that this wine went into hibernation for the rest of the night. Glorious nose thought for a bit of deep red fruit, exotic spice and tons of wet earth plus nice spicey oak. Ripe and deep palate with some big tannins and glorious fruit. Long finish. Needs lots and lots of time. Decades. Great wine.
