  On opening classic yellow - no hint of bronzing. Open nose - butter, nuts, minerals, straw. Quite broad aromas and rich flavours on palate, decent length. Some acidity to balance the richness. Reasonably easy drinker without the authority of a top cru though decent complexity. Opens nicely in the glass. My score may be a bit generous but I have had a number of very good to excellent bottles of Lafon whites over the years. No reason to keep and I would drink up any remaining. Though not in a panic.

  Flott modning på nesen med smør, røyk, gulfrukt og Dr Pepper. Ren og fin.
  Lekker nese!
  Ganske intens munnfølelse - En litt snodig følelse av å suge på et mentoldrops popper opp!(?).
  Godt konsentrert med grei friskhet.
  Bra, men savner kanskje litt nerve.
  Det blir litt pirk.
  Lang stram finish.
  Holder seg strukturert hele veien denne.
  Er på et fint stadie i livet og drikker godt nå.

  Huge contrast to the ’99. This is pure Meursault. Nuts and rich fruit suggestive of golden delicious apples. This is redolent, ripe and nearly easy-drinking at this stage. A much more forward, lower-acid and approachable wine at this juncture. Mouth-filling texture without being the least bit over the top. This is very easy to love right now, is a fantastic example of the style of Meursault and while it may not have the high-ceiling or ageability of the ’99 it is a terrific wine on its own merits.
