95 and 96 Roumier Ruchottes-Chambertin pair is fabulous. 9 96 will be the better wine in the long run, but not as seamless as 95 today though it has more power and stuffing. A few years from peak.

(Mostly) Burgundy Dinners with Friends; 4/21/2022-4/22/2022 (Chicago, IL): Alongside the 1995. Lots of black fruit, still slightly reticent but with subtle spice, meat, and power. Not nearly as much fun as the 1995 in the next glass, but possibly better in another decade? 92 points tonight, but further upside from here.

The only ringer in a MG Ruchottes line-up. Served alongside the MG 95. An interesting wine and people went back and forth between Roumier or Rousseau as a guess. It felt not ready yet as the structure needs to soften more. Some black cherry fruit. A bit stern. Good but not mindblowing.

Lovely old world burgundy nose, couldn’t be anything else with black cherry, and funky sauvage. But, in the mouth, rather lean if not austere, and a difficult search to find complexity to justify the price tag. I always want to drink my friends’ Roumier, to find that 1 of 8 bottles that actually seems worth the cost. Not this one.

Epure blind. Much creamier than 1990 BM alongside.
