Tasted blind. Dark tawny color. Sweet, candied fruit nose with notes of dark raspberries, some spice, some mocha, some gravel stone and a little soy sauce. In the mouth, there is a dryness to it when compared to the great nose and smells this gives off. Very masculine. Punches you in the face. Guessed 89 Rousseau Clos de Beze. Great juice! — 3 years ago

Red and black fruits, herbs and spices on the nose; light but well structured with firm tannins and delicious acidity, lots of fruit and savoury notes — 8 years ago
Tasted blind. Red purple in the glass. Looks young. Killer nose. Everyone smiles. Notes of red cherries, tan spice, rhubarb, some rosemary and a little candied fruit. Very refined in the mouth. Masculine. Very balanced, with ample fruit and matching structure. Has the precision of a great Rousseau. As good as burgundy gets. Guessed 71 Rousseau Chambertin. This goes on the list of all time greats for me. Thanks Stan! — 3 years ago

Great body and acidity for a colombard made in California :) — 8 years ago
Normally a Merlot from Sonoma I would have zero interest in but WOW! This wine is amazing, vanilla, leather, and subtly smoke on the nose. Medium to heavy body on the palate. Nice mint tobacco finish with a well balanced mixed of tannins on the finish. Moon Mountain AVA is the next big thing! — 8 years ago
Apples and citrus on the nose and palate, light and bright and bubbly and delicious. — 3 years ago
Meg was right about 5+ more years of aging. Just getting close to perfection. — 4 years ago
Contrary to my last note, this IS my last bottle of 2 dozen. Mid Ruby in colour. Dark ripe cherries with a little pepper on both nose and palate. Can see why this wine has won 13 Trophies on the Australian Show Circuit including 5 at Royal Sydney. Ridiculous value at $22 or less. So easy to drink. Made by French winemaker Celine Rousseau in the cool climate Hilltops District near Young NSW. Wish I had more. — 5 years ago
Tims wine. Very smooth and rich. Great wine. — 6 years ago
WOW ! Il y une fraicheur et une pureté dans le fruit comme on en retrouve pas souvent. Puissance aromatique certaine de cerise noire et d'épices. Puissant mais élégant avec acidité bien contrôlée. Si on oublie les domaines trop rares, Mugneret Gibourg est au top de ma liste avec Rousseau... ce n'est pas peu dire. Superbe ! — 8 years ago
