  #4 of 4 Last bottle and the best of the four. Clearly darker than the bottle last summer, nose reflected a maturing profile as did the palate. This is now shows less of 2004s leanest and more of Lafons rounder richer style. Still has good acidity which helps carry its new found richness quite nicely. Hard to keep my nose out of the glass, a really nice bottle of mature Meursault

  3 of 4, best bottle yet. Nice fruit, solid structure and scale, balanced with a very ‘04 overall character, very clean and lean. Had quite a bit in common with the ‘15 Roulot Mersault in the earlier flight, adding to a fun BYOB night at Popina

  Burgundy & Birds (il Buco): Note by Tim Farrell of BWe
  
  The wine, which was quite young with lots of primary yellow fruit flavors, also exhibited a touch of the much mentioned 2004 "green-ness" that, while often overbearing and disruptive in the vintage's reds, lends a lean edge and touch of spice to the mix. Lovely with duck rillettes.
  
  Tasted alongside a 1989 Lafon Meursault which was just better in every way, see note

  Drank the 2004 Desire and Clos du Barre side by side. Light yellow color, some buttered popcorn on the nose along with hints citrus. Light weight compared to the Clos du Barre, which was richer, fuller, more complex, more energy and longer finish. Nice but a little simple.

  Quite yellow-gold, a bit alarming, but not obviously oxidised (like too much of Lafon). Quite fat, caramel, tough of citrus & minerality but this is pretty rustic and rather blowsy. Not a great Meursault, needs drinking now and certainly nowhere near worth the price tag.
