The color is still very dark. Archetypal animalistic nose, but the wine is very , very closed - popped and poured, it was diffecult to comprehend at first; it grew enormously in the glass and find the elegant expression of an aging cote-rôtie with leather, dark olives etc. Impressive wine.
Still young and crisp with solid tannins and the tight dry style combined with small red berries and a sigh floral character . Nebbiolo of the old school, very clean, elegant and supple . Recognizable as Piedmont, guessed as Giacosa - but I thought it was barolo.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
"Il faut être absolument moderne!" - almost covered with wood, it seems, and closed, as is the vintage nature. Great wine in spe, it is very conceivable , but right now wrapped in baby fat.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
This caused me great difficulty to try and guess - and it's not the first time with Lafon. That it was white Burgundy was obvious, but the combination of butter, bruised apple, hints of smoke and a mineral nerve, sent me to Puligny, not to Meursault - but probably should have sent me to Lafon. Too young , in my opinion.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Round and fruity, some toasty notes, vanilla, butter and a rather discrete acidity. A broad wine with much finesse.
