Monthly Bojo Night: Older Moulin-à-Vent (+ one Fleurie) and two older Vouvrays: Cherry red, slightly brownish towards the rim. Very fine in the nose, slightly herbal/vegetal, dried tobacco, autumn leaves, strawberry and plum fruit. Quite fragrant and pleasant. In the mouth, this is very lively with fairly sturdy tannins, medium to strong acidity, but then silky in the very fine and elegant finish. Very good and will hold for another two or three years, but there's no point in waiting any further.

(Coudert Clos de la Roilette Fleurie "Cuvee Tardive") Little reticent on the nose but soon opens up to cinnamon, dark berry fruit, mineral, sweet orange pepper and lots of wet earth. Touch clenched on the palate but with lots of soaking red fruits. The usual silky texture and sweet fruits. Good acids keep this very fresh and long. Tannins are pearly but very well integrated with the rest of the wine. After a while the aromatics have exploded now to include wet earth, autumn leaves and very bright berry fruit. Wonderful florality.
