  April 25, 2024 - (Cdv)
  Nez discret (normal, CdB!) tertiaire, epicé, fané et sombre, avec un poil de violette séchée: pas très jovial, un peu austère …
  Mais la bouche dévoile un vin beaucoup plus élégant, une texture fine en tanins, souple & acidulée (2011) et sans verdeur (anciennes notes CT); des effluves de framboise subtiles rehaussent le vin, la violette aussi, sur un socle toutefois très tertiaire et automnal

  March 14, 2024 - slow ox-ed in bottle. Wide open after 2 hours, bursting full of dark sour cherries, rose petals, cloves, slight touch of reduction, orange zest and menthol. In the mouth, you get good elegant fruit which is persistent but rather linear and lean, has a nice streak chalkiness which underscores everything. This is hitting the sweet spot today of primary and tertiary flavours and now is great time to drink. Didn't get any of the green notes mentioned here on CT.

  March 9, 2024 - This bottle really took its time to get going (let's call it the length of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix), probably showing the difficulties of 2011 in the process. But once it got going, it wound up in quite a good place, though not one I typically associate with Morey-Saint-Denis? The nose was funky to say the least, compounding earthy, mushroom scents with a vegetal, herbaceous quality. The nose eventually opened up with scents of tobacco and licorice, but the funk remained. The palate itself possessed the power of Chambolle-Musigny with the rusticity of Gevrey-Chambertin as an upfront of ripe raspberries, dark cherries and tobacco quickly transitioned to a mid-palate dominated by forest floor. The finish brought in a light menthol note alongside dill, perhaps showing signs of greenness, but as a whole, this was a very interesting (albeit eventually good) example of Roumier-style winemaking. I was hoping for a tad more finesse / elegance out of this bottle, but I tempered my expectations off the back of the vintage.

  October 15, 2023 - More wild and exotic nose. Earthy, mushroom, clove. Pomegranate, blood orange. Something about Roumier. Dig it. Drink up but will hold for another 10+

  October 15, 2023 - Nice nose, crisp cherry, but didn’t have the depth and complexity of the Marcassin.
