After a day of racking wine, then cleaning the house. I felt like opening this lady; good earth & dried fruit, plus the perfect balance of acid/rock/ & sense of place. Optimum would be now, but that's my opinion.

At first I hated these wines, was then seduced and finished in awe. A special treat.

Upon pouring, there was a lot of funk, mushroom, perhaps even cardboard smell. Someone had mentioned its corked but we decided to let it breathe in the bottle for 2-3 hours. Glad we didn't give up on it because on the second try, the wine was full of bright red cherries with candy/herbal notes and flowers. The same person who said it was corked now said this was a Rousseau. I can see why, but there was sandalwood and airiness that pointed to Vosne Romanee. I'm a fan of Hudelot Noellat, but I didn't know it would become this lovely.
