93 Points

Thursday, May 27, 2021 - Same btl as rocknroller. Served on the occasion of Kevin's (rocknroller) 60th celebrated at Minikahda Club with 12 of us enjoying Vincent's outstanding food & Nico's depth hand with the wines we brought along. 110pt occasion! This shared a terrific 3 btl flt that also included my '10 Tortochot Chambertin & Jimmy's '08 Lambrays - Clos de Lambrays. I'm beyond grateful to Lonny for sharing this tonight. I thought I would never have the good fortune to to taste Rousseau from my favorite red Burg vintage of the past 25yrs! So, I came prepared with outsized expectations and found a lovely wine in a state of somewhat awkward adolescence. I believe in the producer and the vintage and know this will reach its full potential at a later date. Tonight I appreciated its earthiness, semi tart red fruit and spice. It just didn't feel like a totally in the groove jazz trio tonight, for me. Hoping Lonny has another '10 Rousseau of any stripe for my imminent retirement later this year. 93+
