  December 9, 2023 - Opened at Octavium in HK. Slow-oxed and served blind.
  
  This was a very pleasant surprise, and the vintage completely threw me off, as I guessed something younger. So many bottles of Lafon are affected by premox that I don't have much experience with their (slightly) older wines, but this proves that if you have a good one, it can definitely age!
  
  Called Meursault from a good producer and was grateful to get it right. Beautiful buttery richness coming through, still fresh with lovely balancing acidity. Wonderful white Burg.
  
  Hard to comment on upside, given so much bottle variation. However, I feel this particular one could have kept at this level for a while yet, and I'd love to revisit.

  July 4, 2020 - Elderflower, vanilla, butter, and a vibrant acidity tying the aromas into a long and powerfull wine.

  April 26, 2020 - Buttery with pretty floral aromas and wet stones. No overt signs of oxidation beyond age appropriate.
  Soft and creamy oily texture with light tropical yellow fruits. Elegant, delicate in flavors, yet with serious weight. In a nice window, but time to drink. Opened for a COVID virtual tasting with Lea Lafon.
