Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos Saint-Jacques" 1996 bottle - Vins Rare

91 BH

92 VM

Notes:

There is grand cru breed and elegance to burn in a medium bodied, finely detailed package with good richness and compelling complexity to the concentrated and very long flavors. As one would expect from a '96, there is edgy acidity yet it appears perfectly integrated and gives real lift to the flavors. In short, this is an excellent if not truly outstanding Rousseau Clos St. Jacques that is still on the way up though it is not too far away from what should be a long plateau of maturity. Consistent notes.Burghound 91 points

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr '99 Good red-ruby. Altogether more vibrant, sexy nose combines cherry, plum, smoke, coffee, game and Cuban tobacco. Fleshy, round and elegant; a distinct step up in extract and volume. Really compelling sweetness of fruit. Very suave and very long on the finish, which features extremely fine tannins. A superb showing today. 92 points
