While not a blockbuster as it is only medium-bodied, Domaine Lafon?s 2001 Montrachet is a stunning, awe-inspiring wine. According to Lafon, ?It is the best Montrachet we?ve ever made.? Spiced pears and vanilla can be found in its complex aromatics. On the palate, this oily-textured wine reveals sublime power, depth, concentration, purity, expanse, and class. Loads of spice-laden pears, candied apples, buttered toast, acacia blossoms, and well-defined minerals are detected in its flavor profile. Its sultry finish, which still bathes the palate in spices after a minute, is mind-numbing. Bravo! Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He?s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.
