...Good full, deep red. Lovely tangy perfume of cherry, raspberry, red licorice, fresh herbs, rose petal and spicy oak. Dense, sweet and fine, with an obvious new oak element nicely carried by the wine's concentration of fruits and flowers. Offers an uncanny combination of seamless texture and power. Most impressive today on the firmly structured, slowly building finish, which features fine-grained tannins and a complex saline and spice perfume. A beauty. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

This wine is such a pleasure for a young bottle. Needs several hours of air but it's full of character and just delicious. #burgundy #rousseau

Approachable from the start which very much due to the vintage. But still has enough structure that you'd want to try this again in 5-10yrs. Amazing fruit and sweetness on the nose, with some hints of development. Lasts forever... loved it!
