Twelve Vintages of Lafon Montrachet: A fantastic bottle, with excellent structure and balance. Fun having it next to the sublime 2010, and it fully held its own. A class act.
11/12 pairing. So much depth of flavor and concentration, particularly for 2011. Exceptionally detailed and precise with intense flavors and an impressive amount of complex fruit, mineral, spice and nut flavors. I slightly preferred the more raw and powerful 2012.

Happy Birthday to Me (Oriole - Chicago IL): Alongside the 2012, both showing great. This was floral, bright and linear with so much apple, lemon and lemon zest. Long and wonderfully precise. Some people preferred the richness of the 2012, but I found this 2011 to be more energetic and the better of the pair.

Started strong, and went upward from there. From first sniff to it's powerful finish, this is very classy wine indeed. We chose to drink it slowly right from the initial decant, which was a great choice.

Lafon Montrachet vertical with some great champagne and reds. (Four Seasons, Minneapolis, MN): Vertical tasting of Montrachet 2000-2019: Great structure. Rich and viscous with some honey notes. Wonderful balance with great length. Middle third rating.
