Opened up beautifully over dinner, chocolate dipped black cherry, crunchy Asian spice box, great acid! Lafon reds are under rated.

Utterly lovely. Minerality and crunchy delicate fruit. Perfect lunch wine on a frigid day.

Last bottle. Lovely fruity aromatics. Tastes of sappy red fruits with a nice mineral streak. Long.

Opening nicely. Blue fruits (including blueberries) on the nose and palate. Smooth and balanced.
