Prematurely oxidized, as all too many Lafon wines are. I don't buy this producer, because this happens all too often. What a shame, because when they are "on" Lafon wines are quite special.

A 40th Birthday Celebration, Dinner Edition (Atlas Bistro - Scottsdale AZ): Stunning concentration but VERY advanced. This showed all the character of an amazing bottle I tasted in 2015, but seemed 15 years older! Damn you, white Burgundy! For me, 91 points when first tasted tonight, then 89 points when tasted again an hour+ later.

La Paulée Meets Chicago - Dinner (Blackbird - Chicago IL): Small pour, brief note. Great cross-section of fruit aromas and flavors, with some slightly sweet baked apple hints. Powerful and harmonious throughout. Knockout wine with enough structure for enticing textures. I wouldn't have thought from 2006 if served blind.

Extremely precise and quite tight still, concentrated with accent on the citrus note. Elegant, mineral style, still needs awakening. 94+
