  This was the WOTN. Elegant, polished, bright red fruit, some spice and a bit of earthiness, all beautifully woven together, lovely mouth feel, balanced, and a lovely finish.

  This, my first of 3 btls, was enjoyed with friends on a fishing trip to the Metolius River. Lovely, elegant, fine balance, medium weight and intensity, paired ably with a mushroom risotto and then a cheese course. Can stand several more years of cellar time.

  Opened this bottle to accompany roast duck breast. Had a medium intensity brick/ruby core with a slightly more brick coloured rim. On the nose very intense aroma of cherries, with touches of almonds and very slight "undergrowth" notes. The palate feel was silky, with very soft tannins, the acidity balanced beautifully the fatty duck dish we drank it with. A long intense cherry finish.

  Ruby and slightly cloudy in the glass. Nose of soft, light cherry. On the palate this was smooth, a fair amount of acid with fruit of cherries, becoming darker with time in the glass. Good, but to my palate, not great. Not completely happy I spent $95 for this. Was a good complement to the salmon we had for dinner.

  Surprised that a 2000 AOC would hold up with this much fruit. The elegant and classic Lafon touch is right there, with alight, fully developed Volnay sense of cherry, a hint of smoke, wild berries and a soft nice balance of acid. Had 2 bottles at a restaurant and both were very fine. Did not last with full fruit more than a half hour in the glass though. Drink up.
