Like the rest of the wines here at the time I tasted Roumier's 2005 Morey St. Denis Clos de la Bussiere had been sulfured and racked in autumn after a very late malo and was in barrel awaiting imminent assemblage in tank for (unfiltered) bottling. It was slightly reduced but responded well to a good shaking displaying subtle black fruits high-toned almond and maraschino roasted meatiness resin and forest floor notes on the nose. It fills the mouth with roasted meat richness bitter-sweet black fruits high-toned distilled fruit esters and finishes with solidity grip and savory saltiness.
