(Roumier Morey St. Denis 1er Cru "Clos de la Bussiere") An interesting wine that proved to be a little green, acidic and tannic for my taste. Although I am sure I did not let it breath long enough as it really started to come around during the last glass. The nose was very mushroomy, green peppery with some suggestions of red fruit. Definetly on the rustic and wild side. The palate had pretty tart fruit that started to develop sweetnes later on. Good stuff but I think needs time. Still a startlingly aromatic wine at this point
(Roumier Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru "Clos de la Bussiere") 2001 is quickly becoming my favorite Burgundy vintage of recent for its transparency of terroir. It just shines through in the wines. This just exploded out of the glass with exotic Indian spices, red berry fruit and some earth. Supple and lacey on the palate with the classic Roumier crunch on the finish. Gorgeous and has many years to go.
