June 24, 2022 - Slow oxed for 2.5 hour before serving. White flowers, citrus, spice and almonds. Very fine palate with very good balance between fruit and acidity despite the vintage’s ripeness. It is harmonious and elegant with subtle richness without being overwhelming. Very impressed by Lafon’s 2018.
