Started off a bit reduced with restrained yet pretty fruits and perfumes, and then it slowly shut down after an hour with air. A lovely lacy wine, but I may not have had a full appreciation of the bottle as we were about to leave the bar. To be revisited soon before it goes into the dormant period (which may be before too long).

Inviting from the get-go, with juicy crushed strawberries, Griotte cherries and boysenberries reminding me of a finest mixed berry yogurt smoothie. Woods are well integrated, adding sophistication both to the nose and palate. In terms of style it may not be the most silky or pretty Roumier I’ve had, rather more on a rich and dense side, but who would care when it is drinking just superbly?

Like a top-notch Crêpes Suzette made into liquid, lushly scented on the nose with orange peel, brioche, honeyed ginger and a dab of crushed Asian pear, as well as the usual oxidation marking the Selossian pedigree. As expected from the vintage this is a large-scaled, opulent and exuberant fizz, but the palate does not feel too hefty as is deftly balanced with a fine edge and piercing acidity which really lift the wine to the next level. Utterly delicious.
