  March 1, 2024 - Un peu décevant, manque de puissance et de complexité. Il se présente comme un beau vin de 30$

  January 26, 2024 - Tight tight tight on pop and pour. Lots of reductive notes.
  
  Put part of it in the decanter, put some more under the cork.
  
  Four hours later, we drank all the stuff in the decanter. Not sure it was actually improved. The Lafon finally blew of its reduction and opened up a little bit. We compared it against a Ballot Millot 2019 which was actually very good initially, but a bit rich when revisited.
  
  The Lafon is tremendously well balanced. Not saying it’s better or definitely not worth the tariff, but it’s a nice wine.
  
  Fast-forward to day two. The wine is much improved; better nose, more focused, bigger, and better balanced. I don’t know if it’s in a sleepy phase or what, but it is wholly different on day two.
