Tasted next to an 88 Dujac Clos de la Roche. Hard to imagine a much better burgundy. Juicy fruit gum, red fruited with rhubarb showing the warmth of the vintage, faint tannins remain offering just a hint of pushback. Fresh acidity remains. This needed 90 minutes of air to peak.

Pinot Blind: Well, when you walk into the a tasting and you get a blind pour of an older burg and it turn out to be a Roumier, you say Thank You! I got the last pour, some sediment may have dulled the nose a bit. But it was one of those wines the more time you spent with it, the deeper it became. But this was a rather subtle elegant wine. Seemingly fully mature to maybe slightly past peak, with complex ethereal fruit, seamless from start to finish. Lacks a little punch and complexity on the finish but the nose really makes up the difference. Great experience (Same bottle as JVIZ)

Easily the best burg I’ve had this year. Cinnamon stick, with warmed fruit tones, well integrated with oiled leather and a bit of rhubarb confit hanging around. Softened and delicious.

Served blind. Heavenly dry rose petal aromas, incredibly alluring. Tannins fully resolved, elegance personified with a loooooooooong finish. It’s a cliche but this really is the iron fist in velvet glove. I have been priveleged to drink a number of Roumier wines over the years, and I cannot recall anything better. One of the best wines I have had this year.

A WHOLE lot of funk was going on here. Many of the notes mirror what this bottle showed. A beast of tertiary, barnyard aromas. Interesting, good, but not Roumier Bonnes Mares typicity. I've not had the 89 before so no previous tastings to contrast it to.

Good wine, but aromatically a bit tertiary and bestial. More musk and earth than fruit. Palate was different story, very pure and on point. Beautiful tart cherries.

This wine is better than notes imo. Wowser! One of the best reds of the night. Secondary/tertiary notes. I could smell this wine all night. Just beautiful. Big middle and depth. Long, long. Superb.

S.F....La Paulee style! (S.F. Ca.): Probably my favorite all around wine in the tasting....SO SO silky smooth with an amazing freshness...sweet liqueured bright berry fruit, mushrooms, chalky minerality, exotic dark spice, potpourri florals....wonderful!

Vertical Tasting of 18 Roumier Bonnes Mares from Steven Tanzers Cellar with Steve, sponsored by Acker Merrill at Toqueville. Perfectly good and if it was not in this company, would have been a delight.

From magnum. Intact but without the structure of better vintage Roumier BM. Largely undistinguished, even in this format.

The 89 showed well. I've had this three times in the past couple of years, and it's a decent if not inspiring vintage.

Roumier Jasper Morris dinner. Light cork taint ruined what was a nice core.

At La Tour d'Argent. Not off, but no better than a village Chambolle. Neither air nor hope helped! Alas, bottle variation.
