Description
Chambertin 1996A. Rousseau
Bottle (2)
"One of the greatest wines of the vintage with one of the most complex and stunning panoply of still youthful pinot fruit aromas I have ever experienced. Still almost completely primary and pristine| with the same vinous purity yet even more elegance and intensity plus notes of ripe earth| bitter chocolate hints and anise. Superbly intense| full| sharply focused| big| broad and deep flavors that are not especially dense but lead to a finish that simply goes on and on. Classy juice and this rivals the '93 and the '91 for wines for the decade honors chez Rousseau. Simply terrific. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes." (95pts Allen Meadows, Burghound, May 2010)
