Armand Rousseau Dinner: Aeration for 4 hours to soften the tannin. Medium+ nose intensity with notes of red fruits, red cherry, strawberry. Still youthful.

Always enjoyed Rousseau even though it’s still youthful. Will need at least 10 years to enjoy this wine. Still youthful with notes of cranberry, strawberry, red fruits, flora, violet.

Just beautiful. This is everything has everything that I love in a red Burgundy. Nice spice, huge nose, perfect balance, complexity, etc. Enjoyed in Vienna.

Despite the prior negative reviews, I couldn’t help my self and Coravinned a glass. Wasn’t disappointed. I’m sure it will gain more dimension with bottle age, but I figured the I’ll not find out what Rousseau wines taste like young by aging it. Black and red fruit with a significant but not overpower stem presence that compliments with floral and green notes. It smelled “expensive” to me and it want that when I’ve shelled out the 💵💵💵. The palate has some smoothing out to do. It’s dense and firm, but I drink 2018 Bordeaux, so I’m not phased by that. Some burg producers really need their wines aged but this one data point suggests that Rousseau is not one of them. Also, I enjoyed this more than the 1990 a friend generously offered me earlier this year, and sadly, the 2018 was better than the 1999 Clos de Beze he also offered. That is surprising but true.

medium acidity, grainy tanning, broad palate, but need time for aging.
