Intense and pretty with a bit of VA on the nose at first that blows off. Very pure fruit but still young and quite gnarly. Serious stuff, dark and intense. Will this ever dance lightly? I don’t know… impressive but less drinkable now that the 2000 alongside. — 4 days ago

Very pretty on the nose. Rose petals, lifted raspberry. Cherry and bright shrill spicy notes. Clear and defined. Very good — 2 days ago

2017 - vintage - this got lost in my cellar - unfiltered or throwing a sediment- subtle spice, pomegranate, So balanced, so pretty, it seems to be really nice 8 years on , I wouldn’t hold too much longer, what a treat 13.0% ABV — 10 days ago

2005 vintage. Great fill and cork. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Small amount of chunky and powdery sed. Nose a bit musty but never funky during a high decant. Medium-heavy body. Tremendous power throughout. Can easily go another two decades. Still packing the signs of youth such as individual flavors easily evident vs melded/integrated ones. Tasted more like a 2020 vintage. Was hoping for more black tea, espresso, orange citrus peel, soy sauce notes (and there were some). This one's gonna need a bigger boat...er...another 7-8 years or a 5 hour decant to shed some of that overt power in a trade off for nuance. Delicious in its own way but not easy. Demanding. 04.04.25. — 25 days ago

With a four hour decant this 2001 Rousseau Chambertin was ethereally light with a good finish but not as complex or the signature sappy fruit associated with Rousseau. A good wine not great. Next time will use a two hour decant — 10 days ago

Unbelievable. So much flavor, so light yet good texture and long finish. Probably my favorite. — 3 days ago
