2005 Domaine Georges Roumier, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, La Bussiere 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92

This has a very sensuous, entrancing nose with superbly knit new oak although it has certainly closed down since tasted out of barrel last year, when it was just about to be racked. Morello, quince, raspberry leaf and a touch of dried orange peel. The palate is seamless with fine tannins and very focused, with a slightly rustic, ferrous finish. Top class. Tasted February 2008.
