Part of Roulot + Roumier tasting. Super chalky, lemons, herbs. In a stunning place. — 3 months ago
1996 vintage. Redonkulous, mid-neck fill and pristine cork (have had 17-20 similarly stored/performing bottles of different producers, varietals, regions from this particular cellar). Decanted with a mix of small chunk and coffee ground sed. Tasted immediately and over the course of two hours. That aged, silvery sheen in the color with a noticeable meniscus. Quiescent nose in the early going and showing. Took approx 30 mins of repeated decanted agitations to coax out a mix of herbs, orange zest/peel and slight beefiness. All this plus some American milk chocolate coalescing in flavor land. Light body. Still going strong after two hours. Likely another 7-10 years of drinking pleasure left from an above average vintage. 12.30.23. — 4 months ago

Translucent garnet, savory nose of smoky mesquite/loamy soil/herbaceousness, red currant, black cherries and blackberries, green bell pepper and stewed tomato on the back but not overbearing. Beautifully balanced and in a great spot after 30 minutes of air — 11 days ago
