"This is a glorious Clos St. Jacques, which knocked Rousseauās Ruchottes into a hat! The bouquet is so perfumed and heavenly with bright red cherries, redcurrant, minerals and wild raspberry. The palate is beautifully defined, the oak still a little prominent but retaining that ethereal weightlessness and poise, with a thread of acidity enlivening the finish. Exquisite, one of Rousseauās finest ā05s."
