The most elegant wine of the range with a floral and airy nose of extract of red pinot fruit and wet stone that can also be found on the silky and round middle weight flavors that are balanced, refined and strikingly persistent. Like all of the Lafon '07s, the tannins here are quite fine and this should mature over the next decade but last for years. I quite like this and while it's lovely, it's not necessarily more interesting than the Champans, which is rare chez Lafon. Score: 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2017+ 18 April 2010 |

Deep red. The most perfumed of these 2007s, offering aromas of black cherry, licorice, violet and minerals. Lush, sweet and seamless, with complex flavors of cherry and flowers along with a whiff of game. This really coats the mouth and builds, finishing with suave tannins and lingering perfume. Has the stuffing to age but also offers early accessibility. This was tight from barrel and has unfurled nicely. Score: 92 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 March 2010 |
