the wine was served pop and pour into a decanter at dinner. Started off VERY tannic and shy. It was surprising how tannic it was, almost gritty in its texture. Most of us left it to the side cause we knew whatever it was needed air to come around.
No surprise to anyone, the wine really started to open up. Unfurled a deep mineral acid driven core that had burgeoning light Asian pear and lychee notes. With more time this could be a very impressive wine with that core. Definitely the most reserved wine we had all night.

Best bottle of the 2017 that I've had. I love Lafon's Genevrieres.

From Coravin. This does have really good length and minerality but for me it lacks some energy.
