Very good; shows the warmth of the vintage a bit and this is larger scaled for Lafarge, but still in balance; I think this will be better in another 5 or so years to let everything settle in a bit more.

Lafarge did so well in 2018. Seamless, delicious, and shows no overripeness at all. In fact, in this vintage this VS drinks more like a 1er. Really good. Drinking well now but will age for a couple of decades.

I've now had this a number of times and every single time it's been really superb. I don't think anyone did better in '18 than Lafarge, and this wine is a real gem. Deep and dark but with lovely balance.
Domaine visit notes, so only brief impressions. From a several village plots. Very nice, true to the vintage with rich, dark fruit but staying fresh and light enough to be a true Volnay.
