Jon's 50th Birthday Dinner: Opened for an hour. Great focus and energy. Young, almost painfully so, but tons of stuffing. Tonight the 2013 was showing best, but this bottle will be great in a few years.

Twelve Vintages of Lafon Montrachet: A fantastic bottle. We've had this three times this year, and it consistently impresses the table. A great vintage.

Briefly decanted 60 minutes prior to dinner, then drunk leisurely over two hours. While showing the deep, rich elements of the vintage, it also showed more precision and acidity than a recent bottle. My sense is this vintage will likely drink quite well as it ages. An outstanding vintage for Lafon Montrachet.

Lafon Montrachet vertical with some great champagne and reds. (Four Seasons, Minneapolis, MN): Vertical tasting of Montrachet 2000-2019: Some matchstick that dissipates with air. A beautiful young wine and second favorite of the tasting. Lots of tropical fruit, rich, but still good tension leading to perfect balance. Lingering long finish.
