A spectacular showing for this wine. Needed 20 minutes to blow off some funk but after that this wine improved all night with the last glass the best. Classic Roumier signature here - dark fruits, richness, complexity, earth, mushrooms, soil and stemmyness. Very clean and vibrant red fruit with such balance of tannin/acid/fruit. Closer to his Chambolle in character vs Bonnes Mares. This was light and not a powerhouse. Such a great bottle of very rare wine.

Lunch (Somewhere) in Europe (Not Burgundy): Popped and poured. Very similar to the Roumier 86 Bonnes Mares with which we started lunch. Lots of aromatic charm and complexity, followed by good flavors that are age appropriate, just less exciting than the nose might have implied. Good density, moderate length and finish.

Dark fruits, solid, in a great place even though not overly complex
