Description

One bottle of this famous and highly rated red burgundy. I bought this from the Wine Society many years ago and have cellared it properly since then. The bottle on sale is the one in the photographs. The label is decent, and the level is good. The colour looks decent too.

Some reviews:

A small notch up in size and weight but there is much more beguiling complexity plus more structure, especially on the earthy, rich, persistent and palate staining finish. I especially like the acid/fruit balance here as there is plenty of mid-palate sap to buffer the linear, precise and intense flavors that are supported by prominent yet ripe tannins. This may be the best vintage of this wine since the lovely 1996. Drink: 2009-17. 89/91. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (9), January 2003

Earthy and pure. Highly-perfumed red and blue fruits. Mid-weight but near perfect balance and proportion. So silky of texture and good persistence.

Decanted for nearly 4 hours as we were told this bottling might be tight. Beautiful mellow red fruit, sous bois, and prominent black tea notes. Balanced acidity, integrated tannins, so just a really tasty drinking bottle. Continued to unfurl with time, so definitely a bottle worthwhile decanting

Bottle breathe for 3 hours and chilled for 5 min before serving. Unbelievable perfume with wild flower and scent of clam. The palate was rather light but start to evolve after 30 minutes. The nose becomes more reduced but revealed dark cherries and some wood. After an hour, the palate feels more muscular with good depth and grip. Medium to long finishing. Peak at around 2 hours. Very pleasant to drink now, and should be able to age for another 5 years.

CDLR: Rousseau vs Ponsot (East Side): 90 mins of air in bottle and drank over the next 2+ hours.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour with garnet rim. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of perfumed violets, sweet caramelised dark meat, red cherries, blue/purple fruit. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), fine silky medium tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of boysenberries, blue plums, dark red cherries, meat, earth, Syrah-like olive, and orange peel with more air. Very long finish. Very good quality. Feels like a wine at the prime of its life, and still a good 5-6 years ahead of it. Nice ripeness and concentration. Felt more Moreyish and Clos de la Roche-like than the 2001 Ponsot CdlR.

Really good. Popped and poured. This wine is still young. Classic CLDR size and nuance. Red berries mixed with darker berries, maple and good spice notes;
wonderful nose just streaming out of the glass. Think there is room for this to get better.

My last btl and singing tonight. Terrific spice, minerality, red fruit, length and beautiful texture. So pure and fresh. The Rousseau style is everything I want in red Burgundy. Wish I could afford more of them! (95 pts.)
