Volnay Santenots du Milieu, Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2010

Moderate reduction presently renders the nose difficult to assess but there is plenty of energy and punch to the rich, concentrated and utterly delicious flavors that are at once generous but beautifully delineated before culminating in a balanced, explosive and gorgeously long finish. The amount of underlying material is truly impressive and the firm tannins are already well-integrated as the buffering sap almost makes them invisible. This should be one of the great vintages for this storied wine.
