December 4, 2016 - Great purity, fantastic red fruits. Drinking very well, though still feels entirely primary at the moment.

October 13, 2016 - Another Evening of Lafon in Red and White (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Pale like the '07. Some brett and barnyard here. Light to medium body. Black fruited, again some anise, soil, and excellent acidity. For its weight, very pleasing mid-palate feel leading up to an earthy, tannic finish. More power at the end than the 2007, chunkier but really good too in its own way.

August 6, 2012 - Drinking lovely now. Nice dark berry fruit, excellent acid. Nice leafy/stemmy complexity now too. Lively in the mouth. Very nice!

August 5, 2012 - Not much to add to Blair’s note above. This was drinking very well, youthful but approachable, showing pure red and berry fruit notes with hints of stems and earth. Nice acid spine and good energy. Drink or hold. Excellent.

June 12, 2012 - Drinking great. Just needed a few years to come together. Less now about the fruit. Very Volnay in character. Will likely get better over the short term but in an awersome place now.

4/1/2008 (link)(Comtes Lafon Volnay) The only 2006 that's currently in bottle. Medium colour. The nose is subtle and floral. Round in the mouth with well-covered tannin and shows a nice burst on the mid-palate
