Roumier Musigny 1990 750mL

"A clearly very ripe and now mostly secondary nose displays plenty of spice along with the intense floral, earth and smoke notes found in the prior example. This remains a big, bold and robust wine with excellent intensity, richness and power and I particularly like the mid-palate concentration that buffers the still moderately firm tannins on the superbly long and persistent finish. This has arrived at its apogee but given the firmness of the structure, those who would prefer to continue to cellar the '90 Musigny would be taking no risk as this is going to live for another 50 years, perhaps longer. In sum this is a great Roumier Musigny but it is not particularly refined. Tasted thrice with inconsistent results." - Burghound, BH96, tasted 11/2012
