I've been lucky enough to have this particular Rougeard at least a dozen times, probably more, over it's lifetime and it has never steered me wrong. As always, a very classic version with the herbal pyrazines around the bright red pitted fruits. This bottle was a bit grippier than I remember it and a bit more muted on the nose. What sets Rougeard apart, IMO, is the sense of depth that the wines bring. It's fine to open now, but there is no rush. I think it is right on the cusp of utter silkiness.

Hmm, this was only disappointing wine across several vintages of this. Quite a lot of nail polish on nose, rather green and tart on palate. It's fine but lacking a center and poise.
