The 2011 Comtes Lafon Charmes is stunning! The utterly classic bouquet delivers a complex mélange of apple, pear, passion fruit, a great base of minerality, almonds, a touch of coconut and a lovely framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a very open-knit and seductive palate impression, a great core and superb backend mineral drive that delivers superb energy and grip on the very, very long finish. This is a brilliant vintage of this wine! (10/2012)

An expressive and very pure nose is composed of aromas of hazelnut, citrus, acacia blossom and extract of peach and apricot. There is terrific underlying tension and plenty of minerality to the medium-bodied flavors that possess almost painful intensity on the explosively persistent finish. This is first-rate though moderate patience will be required. *Outstanding* Drink: 2018+ (6/2014)
Int'l Wine Cellar - 93 points
Complex, vibrant aromas of peach, orange zest and lemon accented by white pepper. Rich, ripe, tactile and sweet, with the intense citrus and stone fruit flavors accented by peppery spices and complicated by vanilla and leesy nuances. A very good showing today, but this is still a baby. 93+ points.
