The wines in this collection originate from a range of sources, including select boutique wine shops in London, New York City, and Beaune. Most of the Roumier bottles were purchased directly from the domaine. Although the wines have been moved a few times, they have consistently been kept in temperature-controlled storage to ensure optimal quality and preservation.
1988 Domaine Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 96 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 95 points, CellarTracker 94 points. This is the tasting note for 1988 Domaine Georges Roumier Bonnes Mares Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - Mild bricking. A deep, rich and earthy mix of some primary but now mostly secondary fruit that leads to big, dense and intense flavors blessed with plenty of complexity all the while displaying solid balance as the tannins are relatively integrated on the long finish. To be sure, there remains substantial structure to be resolved but there is solid buffering extract and this fine sense of balance continues into the powerful finish. While certainly a very fine effort, it's not quite at the level of the Vieilles Vignes. For my preferences, this is now beginning to drink well and as it is unlikely to improve further, I would be drinking up over the next decade.
