Armand Rousseau Chambertin 1959

John Kapon — 96/100: “It had a brilliant nose; rich, hearty and beefy with saucy cherry fruit. Oil and nut also were present along with a touch of just right ‘secret’ garden aromas.” He continues: “Its leathery spice was exquisite, and it had great power and t ‘n a. It was the total package aromatically.” On the palate, “It had a gritty edge and a tannic, long finish. Its acids were also long and big. This was special stuff.”
