Volnay Santenots du Milieu Comtes Lafon 2018 (750ML)

94-96 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2018 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has the most intense bouquet of Dominique Lafon’s Volnays this year, intense black cherry scents intermingling with boysenberry and light cassis aromas, all delivered with the utmost detail. The palate offers black cherry and raspberry fruit infused with violets, very fine tannins and gentle grip. The silky-smooth finish fans out gloriously. Stunning." 01/20

92-94 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A fresher and spicier nose somewhat grudgingly reveals its aromas of cool and pure red currant that are trimmed in pretty floral nuances. Interestingly, the middle weight flavors are at once finer and denser while retaining a lovely sense of refinement on the powerful, focused and impressively long finish that is shaped by firm but fine tannins. This excellent effort should age gracefully for years." 04/20, Issue #78
