(Rousseau Armand Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.Jacques) Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. High toned, red and black cherry nose plus a little earthy undercurrent against a creamy oak background. Balanced, fresh and elegant with real intensity. Lovely silky palate. The finish is long with that creamy oak thing still apparent. Very lovely wine - and I mean very!
(Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos St. Jacques") This is one of the worlds great wines. It has such a unique character. Floral, gamey, leathery. Ethereal aromas. Some oak, spice but all in such a perfectly detailed presentation. Prodigious concentration and ripeness. Sappy,dense, with great structure and a 45 second finish. Stunning purity. Sick!
