  Wine opened & breathed for 3 hours, drank with 2011 Rousseau Ruchottes, 2019 Rousseau CSJ & 2018 Rousseau Chambertin, wow nose, raspberries, hawthorn, finesse & elegant, loved it but faded at the end

  Exceeded my expectations which were high to start with. Decided for once not to decant the wine so we could see the wine's transformation.
  
  Soft, feminine and light to start with. It changed to its fruity phase with raspberry, bright red fruits with beautiful acidity shape and fine tannin. The final transformation was where it took on dark fruits, bacon / charcuterie, earthy and smokiness. With great elegance and finesse throughout. Possibly missing some depth to be classified as an outstanding wine but a great one.
  
  Drink now to 2030+.

  SLDS September 2022: Rose petals, cherry, raspberry and musk lollies, spice and oak notes as well - really pretty and fine nose. Palate is pretty and light on its feet as well, really settled and composed. Drinking fantastically well right now.

  Schwarzer Adler 2021 (Schwarzer Adler): - No decanting @ Schwarzer Adler
  - Wonderfully medium + intense, sexy, some very slightly candied (but absolutely adds to the complexity) fruit. Fresh plums as if they were won today, a lightness of strawberries and a coat of damp leaves and earth. Lots of cinnamon and very fine vanilla comes in. Mega precise in all layers.
  - In the mouth beautiful fullness, silky feel imparting and also this lingering lightness of strawberries, red plums and vanilla. Tannins are velvety and soft but still giving enough grip. A bit slender at the beginning, but very broad and complex towards the end. Beautiful development in the glass. Heavenly drinking pleasure!
  - 96-97 points, easily storable for 10 years.

  Schwarzer Adler 2021 (Schwarzer Adler): pnp
  
  nose: straight forward aromas, clearly distinguishable. the different layers identifiable. sour cherry, lots of red ripe fruits, hints of tertiary aromas
  
  palate: dense and compact, nice tension, velvety tannins, its a pleasure to drink this wine! crisp acidity and nice drinkflow. the wine is honest and pure, and the tertiary aromas are just beginning to evolve. can drink now but also wait for another 10+ years for the aromas and the complexity to rise.
  would decant, but not longer than 2-3 hours.
  side-by-side with 2006 Rudolf Fürst Centgrafenberg, the rousseau stomped the german pinot.
