January 28, 2024 - Champagne and Burgundy evening (Private home in Arlington, Virginia): When I first tried it, it begged air, so I double decanted and served after the 2009. The 2010 vintage can be more structured as was the case with this wine, but over time in glass, it was so hard to resist. Aromatically very floral, from rose petal to peony, with red cherry. The palate combines structure with vivaciousness, very lively but reigned in, and an increasingly silky attire over the structure, a textural finesse for the palate! The tannin is still rather prominent, and the wine begs food. It was an excellent match for the pasticio, whose richer aspects, from the meat sauce and the buttery pasta and bechamel coating proved a fine foil to the structured tannin and acidity in the wine. Long finish, with freshness and lift. While the food exuded spice, the wine exuded floral aromatics, both complementing one another, so I give this experience a rather high score. With thanks to Randy for bringing this bottle.

January 23, 2024 - Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots 2010.
Drukket en del av disse opp i gjennom årene.
Denne har kanskje den klareste lyseste frukten av de - meget pent.
Ren og elegant på smak, men også flott dybde og kraft.
Fin krydret frukt.
På et fint sted nå - dette drikker jeg gjerne hver dag.
Lang fokusert finish med nydelig rødfrukt.
Flotte tanniner med et lite bitt. 93p -

November 11, 2023 - Nose dark fruit, cherry, ripe raspberry and some earthiness. Palate similar with a lovely delicacy and lightness despite the concentration of flavours and a touch of liquorice. Very impressive.

October 22, 2023 - Deep red, slight bricking, slow drops. Red fruit and wood nose. Red fruit, vanilla and wood taste. Good fruit, restrained acidity, tannins retain some grip. Great wine.
