2014 Volnay, Santenots-du-Milieu, 1er Cru, Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Burgundy

An elegant, cool and beautifully complex nose displays a discreetly spicy array of red berries plum, violets, tea and a wisp of warm earth. There is really lovely delineation to the concentrated and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that exhibit a taut muscularity while remaining refined and well-balanced on the firm but not austere finale. This is often a very impressive wine chez Lafon but in 2014 it is a bit more elegant than usual.
92/100, Alan Meadows, Burghound (April 2017)
