Red fruits abound. Rather herbaceous. Anise.
Silky. Counting myself lucky.

82 Georges Roumier Ruchottes Chambertin. Fantastic acidity persists after 32 years! Beautiful orange peel notes. Amazing!

Stellar. Tasted a bit over the hill at first (just a touch of raisination) but the color and tannin are from a 2015 or thereabouts. It’s continually developing. Black tea, xmas spice, black cherry, cacao nib but really dark, idk if descriptors do it justice honestly. Was worried cause of vintage/storage/reviews but this is hitting. Btw idk if delectable has it right but it’s the Michel Bonnefond bottling made by Roumier. Texture is honestly seductive

very 95–hard and tannic, but a dense wine with substance. Needs 10+ more years.

Contender for wine of the night. Beautifully complex aromatics and balance like an Andy Goldsworthy piece.
