Honeyed, a bit oxidized, smoky, bacony nose. Very sweet but has nice length on the palate. It was pretty clear to all of us which wine this was. 2nd glass and further, it took more of an oxidized tinge, bordering on unattractive but didn't deteriorate further.

Beat the '96 Rousseau: Quite an interesting wine, never had a Burgundy that presented such obvious honey and red date notes. Sweet on the palate but with tea-like tannins. Some noted that this became a little oxidised with air. Preferred the 2002 that I had a couple of months ago

Next to the 05, this was a bit darker, chunkier and blockier than the 05. More earthiness to the fruit and a more rugged/rustic personality — good not great.

Beat the 96 Rousseau Ruchottes: Blind. Sweet core, hint of tea, structured nose, refreshing made in a “modern” way

Blind tasting. Funky nose and dry tannins. Showing the vintage’s tough tannins but not the plot’s characteristic. Disappointing showing for the plot.
