Many might say that this wine should never have been released from the winery, but who would have known how it would turn out to be back at that time. However, now we see this wine to be hot raisons, dusty floors and a strange sense of what pinot noir should taste like.

More sweet than sauve, rich or dense, this wine did not please the ladies. The nose is much too hot and the palate a bit thin - a watered down version, too simple for what it should be. It is palatable for sure but won't ever be a great wine.

Very well-made and balanced wine; just a little heat seems to pop through on the finish along with the slightest aspect of 'stewed fruit'. Enjoyable overall, though -- incredibly smooth and seemingly in a nice place in its evolution.

(Roumier Georges Morey St.Denis Clos de la Bussière) Christophe likes this vintage. The aromas are ripe though not obviously 2003, that said the aromas are dense and less focused than the wines that went before, though still red-fruited. Plenty of grainy tannin, though they it's not particularly astringent. An interesting and quite pronounced licorice flavour as you head into the mid-palate. This has quite a decent balance overall.
(Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos de La Bussière) Pomegranate and oak nose; oaky, caramel palate with green notes; medium finish

Underrated vintage chez Roumier, very good to drink now showing some warmness but generally good lacy fruit and lots of Morey character. 92
