97 JG "This bottle of Roumier ’85 Bonnes-Mares is even better than the 1985 Roumier Amoureuses paired up with it. The bouquet was equally tight and reticent out of the blocks, but eventually exploded from the glass in a blaze of candied red and black cherries, intriguing balsam tones, woodsmoke, venison, strong soil tones, mustard seed, sous bois, violets and a judicious framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with great elegance coupled to very impressive power. The finish is long, modestly tannic, and nicely livened up by tangy acidity. In a flight with not only the ’85 Amoureses, but also Henri Jayer’s ’85 Cros Parantoux and ’85 Echézeaux, this wine easily vied for top honors with the Cros Parantoux! It is a great, great, great wine that still demands a few more years in the cellar to reach its apogee." 92 AM A superb and quite densely fruited nose of spice, leather and ripe earth is followed by supple, forward, velvety and very rich flavors that deliver excellent length. This is a deep and muscular effort that has a robust quality....For my taste, the '85 is now drinking perfectly...
