  Tasted side by side with a Ruchottes of Mugneret Gibourg of the same year. Opened the evening before, took a half glass for slow aeration and he needed it. Lots of things going on, red fruit and black currant, pretty wild, less round and polished vs the Mugneret, but more interesting.

  Christmas eve - no formal notes.
  Initially very closed, not giving away much (despite 1 hour+ in the decanter).
  Earthy, dark berries with some spices.
  Intense palate, rustic and somewhat "wild", sweet cherries, earth a touch of smoked meat.
  Very fine length and finish.
  Allot of fruit waiting underneath - a bit tightly knit tonight.
  I'd suggest to give this a bit more time, as there is plenty of stuff and I am sure a big reward for the patient.
  A very fine wine in the making here.
  (94 - 96?)

  Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin 2012.
  Litt tilbakeholden foreløpig.
  Likevel småpent.
  Deilig kremet frukt på smak.
  Superb fruktkvalitet på denne.
  Kraft og eleganse.
  Meget lang med pene tanniner.
  Kan med fordel ligge lenger.
  Nydelig.
  93-94p

  Initially a little tight with earthy notes. With time really opening up somewhat and becoming pure and attractive. But ideally needs some more time.

  Very closed at the beginning. Did not reveal much beyond some earthy elements. Tannins still dense, but not rustic, so it should work out with age. After ca 2h it opened up a bit more and revealed some of the Rousseau complexity. I would drink this after 2027.
