95 Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru is maybe the dark horse of Dominique Lafon’s wines this vintage. Exceptional clarity and delineation on the nose, the crushed rock and white flower scents wafting from the glass. The palate is well defined and sports a very subtle reduction. Powerful and intense with plenty of spice, ginger and white pepper enhancing the finish. Superb.

92-94 Allen Meadows - Burghound

A restrained nose is reserved to the point of being almost mute though aggressive swirling eventually liberates notes of green fruit, wood toast, lemon and spiced pear. The gorgeously textured, concentrated and muscular broad-shouldered flavors manage to be at once powerful yet caressing while delivering first-rate length on the bone-dry finish. This is actually a bit finer than it usually is while still packing plenty of punch. Patience advised.
