Comte Lafon, Meursault Clos de La Barre 2005

This bottle of Meursault Clos de la Barre 05 from Lafon was sadly quite badly premoxed. Dark yellow color. In the bouquet apples, some acacia … oxidized and slightly maderized. On the palate .. still quite rich … but fading fruit … acidity quite forward in the finish. Fading in the glass … too bad.
