  October 6, 2023 - Lafon Montrachet vertical with some great champagne and reds. (Four Seasons, Minneapolis, MN): Vertical tasting of Montrachet 2000-2019: Mature. No sign of advancement. Honeysuckle with nice fruit on nose. Medium structure and pleasant finish. Holding up well but in lower third of wines.

  October 6, 2023 - Twelve Vintages of Lafon Montrachet: The first bottle of our twelve vintages of Lafon Montrachet. Very, very good and amazingly fresh. No oxidation, its development was age appropriate. Good provenance bottles of this vintage will likely be ageless.

  August 13, 2022 - This wine offered quite a lot but did not come close to approaching very high expectations. The solid cork came out easily, and there were minimal indications of seepage. Dark yellow in color, veering towards gold. Nose of butterscotch, herbs and faint white pepper. Past peak but not oxidized, just a bit disjointed. There was plenty of acidity, as well as rich fruit and minerality, just not "in harmony" somehow. Bruised apple, cloves and saline. The wine came off as slightly soft, maybe flabby though that term seems inapt for a 22-year old bottle. Not that I was looking for a lot of structure, but it just wasn't firing on all cylinders.
