2010 Rousseau Gevrey – always a classic. Village level that punches above its weight. Rich cassis, meaty Gevrey oopmh, and a little allspice midpalate. In the perfect spot. Opened a 20 earlier this month and this was in a clearly superior spot. Enjoyed w/ Peking Duck.
2012 Magnien Chambertin CdB – little too much new oak for me. If you enjoy a modern style this will appeal. Felt almost Cali cab in terms of higher alc/oak/resid sugar. Not worthy of full Chambertin accolades. Grabbed a few of these at a decent price and wouldn’t seek out more. BYOB at KBBQ.

My last post a couple months ago was deleted for being too pornographic w/o notes. For posterity, they are in the comments this time.
Great notes, what did you pair them with?
Is drc really better than Rousseau ? Never tried one but Seems like rousseaus carry an almost wild sauvage savory element that drc doesn’t please lmk if I’m way off.
