  Opened and poured off a taste at 4:30, first glass at 7. Lovely wine but quiet, no spark to it, no real vibrancy on the nose. It’s delicate and elegant and classy but also not complex articulate or pungent. The palate - similar. Balanced, suave, not super detailed, and the tannins are a bit harsh on the finish. It’s hard because you’re sitting there drinking Roumier and it’s easy to criticize when it isn’t great. This is not at all great. But it’s good. At current price it’s not close to good value. But it’s still good wine and quite surprisingly the last bit was the best by far on the palate. Perhaps this does need a decant for an hour before drinking.

  6th of 12, opened an hour then decanted 2 hours, perfect cork and level, maybe not the most complex of Roumier's wines, but delicious and with his signature purity and drive, now entering mature phase but with upside possible, 15+ years. F+ (18).

  5th of 12, opened 2 hours, perfect cork and level, slightly sharp, took some waking up in glass, essentially as last noted. F (17.5).

  This is a really lovely bottle but it does have some flaws. The nose is superb: fruit purity, a touch of meatiness, purple flowers. The weight and palate are robust and initial impression is a maturing, excellent Morey that is textbook and demands attention. So far so good. What I’m not digging is the short and slightly green/tannic finish. I’m hoping it’s just this bottle as others tasted have not displayed this kind of finish. Roumier might be my favorite wine producer. (89)
