Afternoon tasting

Drinks at a friend's.

2008 Roulot Meursault Les Meix Chavaux - good ripeness, some roundness on the palate but also some lean acidity.  After warming up the acidity became much higher.  Toasty nose also more prominent after aeration.

2003 LĂ©oville-Las Cases - very ripe and warm fruit, some graphite, a bit chalky.  Tannins are still here with some acidity.

2005 La Grave a Pomerol Trigant de Boisset - nose still slightly pungent and more earthy, with cedar notes.  Tannic but acidity still here.


2008 Chartogne-Taillet Heurtebise - nice and caramelized, you can smell the acidity in the nose, with some flint.  Acidity comes out on the palate later.
