Domaine Michel Lafarge Vertical Tasting (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Slightly stewed, ripe aroma. Smells like over ripe, softening strawberries. Similar forward fruit on the palate, but here it's darker in complexion. Thick, dark fruit for a Volay, but the texture is nice and round. Spicy, rich, ripe fruit carries into the finish. Pretty acid is here as well that give it a good lingering flavoring sensation. Good spice here, but the ripeness is a bit much, and the wine lacks some depth.

Red fruit, earth and spice. This is pretty open and generous right now, but will age well. I'd love to see it again in 5-10 years. Very good.

Musique & Vin Pre-Concert Dégustation (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Tasting, brief note. Energetic red and black berries with floral hints. Good weight, good+ length, great balance already, with just so much in reserve. Best to cellar 2024-.
