94 JG "As the youngest and least evolved of all the ’04 Roumier wines that I tasted for this report, the Bonnes-Mares is also the most peppery at the present time, but I have little doubt that this is just a passing phase. The wine offers up a superb nose of dark berries, red and black cherries, game, espresso, white pepper, woodsmoke and complex soil tones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, powerfully built and still quite primary, with excellent mid-palate depth, fine focus, plenty of ripe, well-integrated tannins, tangy acids and outstanding length and grip on the soil-driven and laser-like finish. A classic Roumier Bonnes-Mares in the making, the 2004 will need at least another six years to fully blossom, and will be a superb bottle a decade out from this time." 90 AM A discreet hint of wood spice frames a potent mix of violet, red and black fruits, earth, herb aromas and hints of game that give way to textured, sappy, firm and intense flavors that are both serious and firmly structured.
