Monday, June 4, 2012 - Medium garnet core, almost water hue. The bouquet was also quite shy, similar to the latour but blasted in the glass after 30mins or so. Wonderfully wonderful bouquet, such seductiveness and finesse, large scale, highly complex and fresh: sous bois, roasted coffee bean, sweet herbs, chili leaves, cloves, sweet red and dark cherries, savory meatiness and preserved plum with a bed of dried flowers, wow!! Medium bodied, this 1990 Rousseau is still pretty much a youngster, mouth coating intensity, layer and layer of complexity with incredible energy and freshness. There is this great sense of finesse and purity too. Ethereal finished that continue to linger with sweet spices, sweet dark cherry fruits and gaining weight, mouth coating! A complete wine.
