WineSaint

Gritty tannins and whole-bunch spice dominate this austere premier cru. Dark cherry and pepper emerge with air, but the wine feels somewhat clunky and unpolished. More muscle than finesse - time should bring better integration. A respectable effort that falls short of Rousseau's usual elegance.
