90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2018 Monthélie 'les Duresses' from Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a really lovely bottle in the making this year. The bouquet is ripe, pure and vibrant, wafting from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, dark soil tones, bitter chocolate, gamebird, woodsmoke and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and nicely transparent down to its soil elements, with a good core of fruit, moderate backend tannins and a long, complex and very shapely finish. Fine juice that will start to drink beautifully with only a bit of bottle age, but also has the balance to age quite gracefully. 2025-2055. (Nov/Dec 2019)"
