Armand Rousseau, Chambertin 1999

0.5cm 100 points Decanter Fullish colour. Splendid rich, concentrated, profound nose. Very impressive! Fullish body. Lovely ripe tannins. Very harmonious, simply delicious fruit. A great wine. (CC) (2/2018) 98 points Jasper Morris The colour is actually more evolved than I would have expected, a little deeper than the 2000 but not younger.
