I've tasted this wine over quite some years, and this is not representative. The color is still quite dark, although there are amber tones all the way through to the core. The nose is muted at first, but then gives way to some dried flowers, warm earth, some dried fruit, and a woody tone. It is the mouth that worries me the most: quite full bodied and drying on the first attack, a dryness that keeps on expanding into the finish. Fine notes of dried cherries and raspberries on the mid palate, but the aftertaste is quite heavy and dry. I know that 05 was a full bodied vintage, but this is just too much. It also starts to loose some fruit. A good wine, but still disappointing. An off bottle?

A very fruit forward wine (wedged in between for me two fined CLB reds), with ample dark blue fruits, ripe but not overly so with suffient sap to make it an easy drinking wine even now. It came across as way younger though, some called it 2015. It surely needs another 10 years to hit its prime window and more nuances will evolve. Today an enjoyable "baby" fruit bomb.

(Roumier Georges Morey St.Denis Clos de la Bussière) Medium-plus colour. Forward, concentrated aromas of darker fruit with a little more depth than the 2006, faint white pepper notes too. Plenty of fine grained tannin, dense, concentrated and only slowly revealing its wares. A very long, though subtle, finish. I would actually say that this is a little in its shell, despite all that's here to find. Super.
(Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos de La Bussière) Roses and sandalwood nose; tight, tart red fruit palate with structure; medium finish

Two bottles decanted together. In a sweet spot since my last note (2020). Excellent and classic.
Now till 2025.

Wine is in great place just turning secondary, hints of cherries and chocolate. Yum.
