Gosh when Lafon with some age is on, so so good. A perfect bottle of ‘09 Charmes from the pristine cellar at Emeril’s, remarkably fresh and seamlessly balanced with both ripeness and definition, a voluminous texture with layered crystalline minerality, citrusy acids and a captivating almond-pastry cream bouquet. Couldn’t have shown any better. Just look at that color! — 10 days ago

A warm vintage produced a wine with gentle tannins and soft red fruit with raspberry, strawberry, red currant, violet and an enticing hint of graphite and forest floor. Beautiful balance of tannin and fruit with medium acidity and a very long finish. — 3 months ago

Lovely aromatics of earth, smoke and redfruits, very solid core of dried red berry and super savory flavors, still great balancing acidity, a little less of the rustic notes in this one compared to the 1985 Verset from last Saturday, long, lingering finish, another great Verset Cornas!! — 2 months ago
