  Surprisingly not too ripe at all, citrus, blue fruit, meaty, cherry, violet, vibrant, fresh, super energetic on the palate. Resolved, huge and mouthwatering. 94-95

  This completely lived up to it's reputation. Decanted and served within 5 minutes, this was open, fragrant and delicious right away. Served initially on it's own and shortly followed by our mains at Churchill's which were beef short ribs for Howard and Kim, roast chicken for Kathy and rare prime rib beef for me. I can say the pairing for me was exquisite. The wine was translucent ruby, clear and with no sediment after decanting. Nose very cherry forward with spice and faint forest floor in the background. Palate was delicious cherry and mineral background. Probably the best burgundy I have had. Very Grand Cru despite being CSJ a premier cru. Highly recommended, can't imagine it improving from here but who knows.

  Pre-2002 Rousseau Dinner (WS NYC): No favors being paired with the '96 Beze, this showed a bit light and simple.

  I mean, a perfect bottle of this and it represented what the hype is all about with Rousseau. The nose on this was like cherry heaven in a barn and it fully delivered on the palate with gorgeous layers of decayed cherry fruit and just the right touch of barnyard earth. The finish had a perfect pitch of intensity and was incredibly complex with notes of minerals and red spices. Such an elegant, ethereal aged Burgundy. At The Grill, NYC
