1993 Rousseau Chambertin Clos des Beze

(opened from personal storage and with thanks to Bruce Khouri). This remains one of the greatest wines of the '93 vintage with a simply dazzling breadth of aromas. The highly layered nose is perfumed and lovely yet at the same time powerful and penetrating as it introduces detailed, driving and still very fresh flavors that display astounding depth. This is a bit more obviously structured than the '93 Chambertin (see herein) yet it finishes with the same slow building and wonderfully persistent length. A complete wine with class and breed to burn that should enable it to age well for years to come. Reference standard Clos de Bèze. Multiple, and consistent, notes. Burghound  96 March 2013
