Planted between 1987 and 2011

The wines are deliberately crafted with an intellectual focus

and this one is extra surprising in all the best ways—versatile for all seasons

then focused black cherries

White wines grown on Mount Etna are some of the best in all of Italy

Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots du Milieu 2023 Dundee Hills Planted between 1987 and 2011**** 94 points Jasper Morris Not racked. A fine ruby to purple color, not too intense, but the bouquet is. A little blood orange alongside strawberry and more. At the start of ripeness yet needed picking, there is a lactic oak from the barrel, but I like the way the fruit keeps returning in waves. More energy and fresher fruit in a second barrel, and certainly very persistent. Drink from 2032 2038. Tasted Oct 2024.
