The last time I tasted the 1995 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru from Roumier was back in 2010. Here, served from a magnum no less, I found that the bouquet remains quite sensual, but perhaps more backward and sultry than expected, possibly because of the larger format it was served from. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and refined with orange rind and hints of brown sugar interlacing the red berry fruit. Again, like the bottle in 2010, I find this does not quite deliver the persistence you would expect from a wine of this stature, which is why I am parsimonious with my score. Very fine, no doubt, but not reaching for the stars. Tasted November 2016.
