April 9, 2024 - From a bottle that had 1/4 left and then left open for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Benefited greatly from air and had wonderful notes of cranberry and tart dark fruit - cherry

January 5, 2024 - This has a lot of structure to age for years to come. Believe another 3-5 years at least before this one enters a better drinking window
However, still enjoyable but with lot of tannin present. Darker fruit here
Clearly a great wine where more nuance will shine through as the wine matures and develops.
More dark and blue fruit. More medium plus body to this and full yet delicate and soft tannins.1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 23, 2022 - Domaine Lafon Cellar Visit and Tasting (Meursault): Tasted at Lafon. Red and black cherry with near sweet spice, slightly jammy now, but already fun. Not quite as exciting as the 2019 vintage I tasted a few months ago, but not far behind.
