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.

Lacks delineation of recent vintages. Fine not great.

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