Richebourg and Meursault: Quick decant. Needed tons of air. So much acid on the forefront and hidden fruit. Just tasted painfully young especially against the 2020 Bouzereau that was wide open.

Disappointing vs. expectations and not entirely sure what to make of this one. Not giving up a ton on the nose right now. There's an impression of ripe fruit but it's buried by loads of searing acid. A bit disjointed. Improved a bit on day 2 so maybe becomes more harmonious with time but not sure where this ends up. 90+?

Served blind. Taut, mineral, acidic, slight burn on finish. Very 2014 in character and painfully young, this is a big wine with intense acidity that needs time and shouldn't be opened anytime soon.

I have found the Roulot wines heavier on minerality and lighter on fruit and this wine is no exception. Bitter chalkiness and flint hit the palate before citrus and peach notes emerge. This wine does not have a great track record of aging into something enticing for me, except for the fabulous 2007, so this is a wait-and-see situation. The wine definitely promises longevity, as the re-corked bottle did not lose freshness for weeks. I admire the structure, but can’t say that I love the wine.

Still a baby, but quite good....penetrating floral and citrusy bouquet. Focused and linear in the mouth, there’s a light almost creaminess to the texture, Evan called it feathery. I would expect there to be upside as it ages and develops
