December 4, 2019 - First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): Served blind. Butter, honey, cedar, acacia, a little sweet spice, slight baked apple and stone fruit. Juicy acidity, textured, a little drying on the finish, that apple and stone fruit with butter and honey. Burgundy?

June 10, 2017 - Deep yellow straw colour. Nose is warm hay, white shoe cream. Palate is lovely.... just the merest hint of white Rioja oxidisation nicely mineraly and with some charred lemon skins. Smoothly honeyed lemon curd. Good acidity. Pleasant resonance and length. Very enjoyable but probably drinking at its best and I wouldn't leave it in the cellar much longer.

September 27, 2015 - CENA BORGOGNA GATTO NERO (RISTORANTE GATTO NERO TORINO): Degustato alla cieca. Rispetto al Clos des Mouches 99, è quasi muto al naso e timidissimo, tutto è sussurrato.
L' austerità contenuta e aristocratica del Genevrières è amplificata dall' annata fresca, e regala un profilo finissimo in cui i fiori bianchi e la mineralità danzano in punta di piedi. Poca è l' impronta del legno che invade le annate più generose di Comte Lafon e il vino scorre elegantissimo e quasi soffuso, vestito di un candore angelico.
Consiglio di attendere ancora qualche anno o di caraffare molte ore in anticipo per liberare gli aromi ancora pigri e nascosti.
