2018 Domaine Georges Roumier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Cras, Bottle (750ml)

VM93+ "The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru is extremely well defined on the nose of intense blackberry and raspberry fruit, crushed rock and light wilted iris flower. The palate is medium-bodied with a bold structure, a Les Cras with huge dimension and a firm grip at this early stage. Wonderful salinity here, and it fans out gloriously toward the finish. Next to the nascent 2019, this does not have as much poise, but it will surely age with style and time will smooth its edges. (Drink between 2023-2045)" NM for VM Dec 2020

Allen Meadows for BurgHound "Here the intensely floral-suffused nose is also quite yet fresh ripe with its aromas of poached plum, cassis and pretty spice wisps. The exceptionally rich and dense full-bodied flavors possess an opulent palate impression though the almost pungent salinity adds a sense of lift to the surprisingly powerful, mouth coating and firm finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This too possesses excellent development potential, so patience absolutely advised."
