Burghound: 98 Points
This is even more reserved and requires extended swirling to gradually coax the even spicier aromas of red currant, black raspberry, discreet wood toast and a floral top note. There is superb mid-palate density to the equally sized and powerful flavors that brim with dry extract as well as an abundance of minerality on the massively long finish where a touch of warmth slowly emerges. This isn't quite as structured, but it is still a wine that should reward between two and three decades of cellaring. This too is stunningly brilliant.
Wine Advocate: 95-97 Points
Rousseau's 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, plums, exotic spices, Egyptian musk, woodsmoke and rose petals. Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's deep and tightly wound, with striking intensity and energy. Still very primary, even after a year's élevage, it will require patience, but it's a magical Chambertin in the making.
