  A first time frying this wine so I don’t have any reference points, but I found the palate very slightly fuzzy and the fruit not quite a pure as I have previously experienced with Roumier. Forest floor, sous bois notes on the palate. I think this was in part from being served side-by-side with the Lignier as they are clearly very different wines stylistically. This wine still had lots of acidity. It brightened up and became more precise with some food and also became a little more savoury with time in the glass.

  Popped and poured during our anniversary dinner at Madera restaurant. Some sous bois and sandalwood on the nose. Lacks charm and comes across as overly extracted and hard, more like a 95 than a 93. On the positive side this displays a ruby color with little age/oxidation so it has years to go. Just not sure if it will improve.

  For a village wine this has stood up extremely well to 20 years in the cellar. In the glass it's on the light side of medium in colour and has a fresh, but straight-forward nose. Body is medium-light, but the flavours are still vigorous albeit not particularly complex and the finish is short. The overall 'feel' is that of a well-constructed Cru Beaujolais; fresh and crunchy. Obviously mature, but rather surprisingly still in its drinking window. This will still provide some very pleasant drinking ahead although nothing will be gained by keeping it. Estimated maturity: To 2015

  Dinner at Restaurant Zoe (Restaurant Zoe - Seattle, WA): Very reduced nose. Lots of rubber, tar, dark cherry and wild flowers. Palate was very reduced at first and seemed to resolve (a bit) with time. The rubber/tar tone seemed to soften a bit, but this just didn't seem to take on much in the way of vintage or producer characteristics. No rating from me.

  Dark color still, minimal signs of age. Tart fruit with a hard austere palate. With 2 hours in the decanter, the wine softened somewhat but it is still a baby.
