Tasting Notes
(finished its malo in March): Nut oils and minerals on the nose. Superrich and large-scaled but with surprising energy to its flavors of ripe stone fruits and hazelnut. This wine does not appear to have the class of the 2014 version but finishes tactile and long, with a lightly tannic impression. Sep 2016, www.vinous.com

Tasted blind, Lafon's 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrieres exhibits a reserved nose of struck match, iodine and citrus oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut but layered palate that's deep, tangy and concentrated but decidedly tight-knit at this stage. Some patience will be required. Oct 2018, www.robertparker.com
