Chambertin--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Rousseau
In two six-bottle original cartons
"One of the greatest wines of the vintage with one of the most complex and stunning panoply of pinot fruit aromas I have ever experienced. Still completely primary and pristine, with the same vinous purity yet even more elegance and intensity plus notes of ripe earth, bitter chocolate hints and anise. Superbly intense, full, sharply focused, big, broad and deep flavors lead to a finish that simply goes on and on. Classy juice and this rivals the 1993 and the 1991 for wines for the decade honors chez Rousseau. Simply awesome." BH
