"The 2008 Montrachet from Domaine Lafon is also magical. The brilliant bouquet offers up scents of apple, grapefruit, a nice touch of bacon fat, stunning minerality, floral tones and a touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and extremely minerally this year, with a beautiful core of fruit, flawless balance and stunning length and grip on the racy and multi-faceted finish. This is like drinking diamonds."
