Bonnes Mares, Domaine Georges & Christophe Roumier 2010

**Note: from a 1.5 ha parcel that is roughly divided in .90 ha of terres rouges and .60 ha of terres blanches, the latter of which has the slightly older vines**An overtly cool and restrained yet, somewhat curiously, an even spicier nose reveals notes of violet, black berry and cassis along with earth and stone hints. The dense, powerful, concentrated and muscular flavors possess an almost pungent minerality that adds lift to the extremely firm but not hard finish that possesses explosive length. This is breathtakingly good and somewhat like the Bussières, it's even finer than usual. A great Roumier Bonnes Mares.

An overtly cool and restrained yet ripe nose is partially reduced yet the concentration of the underlying fruit seems readily apparent. The dense, powerful, concentrated and muscular flavors possess an almost pungent minerality that adds lift to the extremely firm but not hard finish that possesses explosive length. This is breathtakingly good and somewhat like the Bussières, it's even finer than usual.
