Very dark. Lots of brick shading at the rim. Thick and deep and rich on the nose. Lots of acidity. Tough. (JR)
Rousseau's 1997 Chambertin is powerful. This Chambertin's dark berry scents lead to a tar, cinnamon, briar, blackberry, black raspberry, and assorted dried fruit flavored personality. It is thick, chewy, medium-to-full-bodied, and will certainly be the longest-lived 1997 from this property. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2010+. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700.
