  Beautiful lemon meringue, fennel seed, touch of jalapeño, honey, apricot, and a posture-stiffening wallop of clamshell minerality at the end. Wore its 14% labeled abv with ease. Refined with a sneaky power to it. It was like all the things you like in other Chardonnay wines all put together here. Fully mature with a few years to go at peak before entering decline.
  Score: 95. Relative to expectations: ++

  Subtle gunflint and citrus aromatics. Viscous, intense palate, great length. Minerality and elegance.

  Wine Dinner #191, Harvey's, Fortitude Valley. As a lead-in to a vertical de Vogue Musigny dinner this wine set the scene performing beautifully with a pale green-gold colour and a complex nose of yellow peach, fresh cut pears, lemon and limes, cashew nut and limestone. The palate is unctuous and mouth filling yet beautifully balanced with a fine acid and mineral cut and persistence that ensures true finesse. Delicious.

  Domaine Lafon Cellar Visit and Tasting (Meursault): Barrel tasting at Domaine. Whites were racked just once. Slightly floral to start with some delicate fruit aromas and some noticeable oak. Fruit and spice really pick up power and concentration in middle and finish with faint traces of tropical fruit, leaving me with a great mouth-coating intensity.
