"The 2012 Comtes Lafon Santenots du Milieu is another great wine in the making, with stunning depth and elegance tied to the depth and concentration of the vintage. The supremely elegant nose is still quite primary in its mélange of dark berries, cassis, bitter chocolate, a marvelously complex base of dark soil tones, currant leaf and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure, with a sappy core of fruit, outstanding focus and grip, velvety tannins, stunning transparency and a very, very long, impeccably balanced finish. A beautiful vintage for this wine."
