Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 - my goodness. What a wine. I’ve long talked about the need for older wine to need air to knit itself together ala Grandpa Joe but it’s so difficult in large gatherings to really get the opportunity to taste older wines and watch them develop and focus with air. Thats why it’s almost imperative to do tastings of older wine in smaller settings.

This 78 Roulot started reticent and flat. But with how vibrant the color was we knew it was just a matter of time before it exploded out of the glass. Which is exactly what it did two hours after opening.

The wine oozed with rich thick tropical fruit, coconut, edges of sweet sugar you get from old white burgundy. The mouthfeel was still filled with edgy acidity that sprang alive on the palate and as old Meursault goes the buttery rich texture saturated for a long time after the sip.
