  • As good a Roumier Bonnes Mares as I've ever had. This is still youthful with a deep core of dark cherry fruit and it took a while to come around in the glass. Once it did though, the power and intensity was magnificent and the firm but lacy texture mind-boggling. Such amazing freshness and verve with a mineral-laden taut finish that is legendary. One of those Burgundies that reminds me of the heights these wines can reach despite the frustrating, costly and inconsistent process of finding them.

  • My first time with this vintage. deep and profound. Powerful but not explosive. Mineral dust, deep cherry, ultra long, brilliantly focused. Yes, it will get better but so good now. I'll remember this wine.

  • Last tasted in 2020. It is evolving slightly but has a ways to go. Big wine with lots of darker fruit, pepper and a touch of oak. Likely better with a couple of hours of air.

  • Pre-celebration dinner (Trelissick Crescent, Ngaio, Wellington, New Zealand): This is a big one! Profound red Burgundy with an amazing capacity for ageing. Dense colour, an absolutely profound Burgundian nose of the deepest black cherry and berry fruit, allied to an amazing iron-ore, almost rusty mineral nose that is both earthy and suggests a palate crying out for all the ageing it can be given. The wine is essentially perfect, but it is still tight and while complete, is still only hinting at the profundities that will emerge with another 10 to 15 or more years. Like the Chave Cuvee Cathelin 2000 drunk the day before, this could be a 50+ year ageing prospect. As grand a Burgundy as I have ever drunk. This could well achieve perfection in a decade.

  • [Blind] Punchy red and black cherry, fairly big. Dark spice, present oak. Younger but expressive and flashy. Racy, floral. Very big but also detailed and intriguing. Can happily enjoy and appreciate this now but there are clearly years of runway here. Enormous Burgundy.
