Jason's belated Birthday: Third Rousseau of my life. Sweet crunchy fruit with a nose to die for. This has a long time to go, absolutely stunning wine. Very tough competition today.

Initially was high acidity and lean, with one hour of air, tannins became sweet and ethereal. Also showing a bit of stems but not distracting. Ready with no upside from here but it’s not going to fall apart anytime soon either with its acidity level. 95+ points.

Slight hint of VA which quickly blew off. The palate is quite long especially at opening, especially in the finish -- skirts the line between aged strawberries, licorice, and noses. Good fruit.
With air time, it gets more integrated, and this is where the wine feels like a poor representation of terroir. Lack of details once all the pieces are in play, other than very pretty rose bouquet that starts at the nose and finishes well into the palate. Once it gets to the tea notes, it never fully feels like it carries anything delicate, other than broad stroke of roses.
Elegant, pretty wine, and a great burgundy, but feels more like the maker than the terroir.

CDLR Dinner (Fort Lee, NJ): Fort Lee Dinner with WJ Lee; Some funk and VA upon opening that muted aromatics. Blew off with time in bottle revealing a rather fine, ethereal wine. More more elegant and lifted than one might expect. By no means was the wine on its last legs, but may be worth opening if holding. Lovely wine and one of the highlights of the evening.

Evolved floral aromatics, quite charming. Not especially delineated.
