1993 Bonnes Mares Roumier

3 Jan 2012: A few days ago, Richard treated me to a bottle of 1993 Bonnes Mares by Roumier - always a treat for me to have a Roumier Bonnes Mares!  Quite high-toned initially, a very captivating bouquet of wolfberry, ripe red and black fruit, cranberry jelly, mixed with animale, leather, coffee, Asian spices and a whiff of caramel.  Fine tannin that has yet to fully integrate, but already a silky texture. Prominent acidity. Became much more harmonious after about 2 hours of aeration. A very fine wine. Can benefit from a couple more years in bottle for further integration.....drink till 2025+.  18/20
