ROUSSEAU
Chambertin Grand Cru--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Rousseau
Tasting note: This wine reveals a dark ruby color and mouth-watering aromas of smoked pork, bacon, juicy blackberries, road tar, raw meat, and a hint of eucalyptus. This block-buster is big, broad, dense, concentrated and complete. It is oily textured, full-bodied, and offers sublime layers of candied black raspberries, blueberries, violets, lilies, fresh herbs, Asian spices, leather, stones, smoke, and toast. This formidably structured and profound wine demands patience. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018. (94-96 points). Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #118, August 1998
