As the nose starts out somewhat restrained but really opens up with aeration, I would highly recommend popping the bottle 1-2 hours ahead of when you intend to drink it. Lovely, complex aromatics. The finish is persistent, vibrant and quite mineral. Beautiful. (Equally fabulous on the second day as well.)
PALATE: Sweetness: dry Acidity: medium (+) Alcohol: medium Body: medium (+) Intensity: medium (+) Flavors: lemon, green apple, lemon zest, flint, white peach, hint of salt Finish: long
CONCLUSIONS: Quality level: outstanding Potential for ageing: can drink now, but has good potential for further ageing

Zurückhaltendes, aber unheimlich feines Bukett. Keine Fruchtpower, aber allerhand Gewürze, Muskat, Nelken, Vanille, Salbei. Vorne (am zweiten Tag) überwiegt eine eindimensionale Säure, aber dann schlagen die Gewürznoten zurück mit einer einen Mineralität, die im Abgang ewig anhält.

lovely again... Tiff really liked this (made a point of letting me know)... she doesn't know who Comte Lafon is but she seems to ALWAYS pick his bottles out of the line up and give them the highest marks -- amazing
