2002 Rousseau Chambertin

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Friday, March 21, 2008

Drank this blind. Smells great! Even better than the '03 Meo Vosne Romanee. There's tomato, fennel, and cherry and cherry liquor. It is clearly at top flight burgundy. It is dusty. The palate is thinner than the Meo, and hiding more than it is showing, pulling its tannic cloak around itself. Then after about 20 minutes, it comes out to play. I guess '02 burgundy, grand cru (both correct). It is complex, and totally wonderful. Then someone else at the table nails it, and it is unveiled. It is top notch- an absolutely stunning example of high-end burgundy and I'd love to have some. This was the wine of the night, in a very tough crowd. Current auction value, about $500.

It is a sense I get sometimes from burgundy and some Oregon pinot (especially Domaine Serene). It is the type of dust from a dry dirt road, not from an uncleaned room.

Hey Mikey -- what does a "Dusty Wine" mean??
