Reviews & Scores
Medium straw colour. Incredibly complex nose displaying an exciting array of fruit, grain, nut and mineral notes: warm apricots, oatmeal, hazelnuts and chalk dust. After 30 mins in the glass the aromas keep coming including candied ginger, dried persimmon and butterscotch. The crisp, minerally palate is other-worldly, paradoxically elegant and powerful. Medium to full body, exquisitely balanced and lots of layers of fruit and nut flavours to disseminate on the very, very long finish. Oh-so-nearly perfect…maybe in a few years? - WA
WA99January 2009
The initial hints of secondary development are now beginning to manifest themselves yet this remains youthful and still largely primary on the fantastically complex nose that offers up an explosive mix of white flower aromas, spice hints and ripe citrus notes that continue on to the vibrant, muscular, dense and exceptionally powerful flavors that possess flat out incredible detail, all wrapped in a racy, elegant and gorgeously pure finish. This is a jaw-dropping combination of superb punch yet this remains a wine of nuance and it seems as though the length just won't quit. While this is certainly an amazing, even dramatic wine already, I would leave it be for another 4 to 8 years, depending on how cool you keep your cellar. A great Lafon Montrachet. Note that the most recent bottle played right on the edge of evident oxidation and for my taste was on the verge of cracking. - BH
BH97November 2008
Amazing fruit and power. Ripe and thick, with lots of lemon and toasted oak--a Chardonnay given the full Burgundian treatment. There's a chewy, chalky, buttery, intensely tropical side to this full-bodied wine. Needs years to show it all. (PM) - WS
