  Older style, more vitamin and dark cherry aromatics. Deep palate, but less precision than newer vintages.

  Another wine nearly at its prime.
  Areation for 5 hours prior to consumption, the first glass was filled with endless floral and red fruit nose, where iris, violet, roses, raspberries composed orchestra playing.
  Truffles and boletes ,together with Indian spices arose in the flower bouquets in the second glass, I could simply not describe properly the elegance of this wine at the moment;
  The third glass was dominated by red fruits, some lovely cigar/tobacco nose decorated the sweet/spicy basis, which reminded me some northern Rhone "Divas" such as La Mouline or Chave, the touch was supple, full-bodied, with some polished but firm tannins, marvelous!
  I bought it 11 years ago from a connoisseur based in Paris ——spending 1500 Euros——which was an incredibly high price at that time. But thinking about the rarity, I have nothing to regret.

  Was this the perfect wine? It's hard to think how it could be any better. An intense nose of perfume and fruits. A palate so balanced and fresh. Perfect harmony and nothing out of place. This was definitely more red fruits than dark and displaying both femininity combined with some structured in the longer aftertaste that lingers. For me, this is up there with a DRC Richebourg 1985 for perfect wine. Shared by BV

  Roumier Musigny vertical. Hard to believe I've had this 3x. That perfect vitamin stink. Freshness and balance are really something. The tastes just linger with super unique and pleasurable sarsaparilla finish.

  Hint of rose, thick texture, caramel, chocolate, honey, purity, floral. Great.
