Default TN:1996 Armand Rousseau Mazy-Chambertain GC

We roasted a nice plump farm raised chicken tonight with herbs,
garlic, mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. I poked around the cellar
and found a bottle of 1996 Armand Rousseau Mazy-Chambertain Grand Cru
in the orphan bin and decided it was time to finish the last bottle.
The color was a crystal clear garnet with a slight brickish hue.
Typical mature burgundy nose of red earth, minerals and tart cherries
with a bit of cinnamon spice and sous bois notes. The wine was sleek
on the palate, nothing ponderous about this wine. Pronouced spicy
black cherry on the palate with a mushroom and stony mineral finish.
Very elegant and smooth with good upfront fruit and nice acidity. a
nice easy "A" on the Dale scale.

I love Armand Rousseau's wines. All I can usually afford is the Clos
de la Roche and village Gevrey, but happily slurp the bigger boys if
someone offers!

Talking of whom, this is my list from my merchant concerning these wine
Armand Rousseau Père et Fils, Gevrey-Chambertin
These wines are on ALLOCATION.
Unfortunately if you have not purchased these wines from
us before you are unlikely to receive an allocation.
Gevrey-Chambertin
Charmes-Chambertin grand cru
Mazy-Chambertin grand cru
Clos de la Roche grand cru
Clos des Ruchottes-Chambertin
Chambertin-Clos de Bèze grand cru
Le Chambertin grand cru

Like you Dale, cannot really afford them, but will drink if offered. !!
