A little too developed on the nose, with honey and brulee dominating. It still has a core of exotic fruits and is a rich wine, but detail has been planed off by oxygen.

Golden straw yellow color. The nose is heavenly and intense, powerful and lovely. Fat notes of butter, hazelnut and asparagus. Palate is a bit bitter, tasted right after the sweetness of Egon Muller Kabinett unfortunately. Still lovely with newly mowed lawn.

Not oxidized whatsoever. Here is minerals and certainly oak, citrus, acidity, the style is rich, spicy even, especially if you consider the vintage. Typical Lafon, I would say, but the wine is still fresh and has years to go - probably opened to young. 91+

Opened initially showing mostly light-floral citrus notes with a hint of smoke. Filled out throughout the night into a beautiful mineral-driven wine. Weighty on the palate but very elegant.

Watery and insipid.
