August 25, 2021 - Aroma of leather. Almost no primary flavor.
drinking with 89 vougeot and 93 NSG, this bottle has the fullest body.
M tannin and acidity.
4082/9064.
August 24, 2021 - Leroy Week; 8/24/2021-8/27/2021 (Hong Kong): 4082/9064. Consistent with the vintage, this does not offer the classic Leroy spice and cherry fruit, but shows somewhat even firmer tannin than the CdV on the side, and is certainly of grand cru on the palate. Interesting comparison from the early days. 93
February 28, 2019 - Surprisingly good for a wine in her early Domaine days. Serene. Drinking superbly. Spice, white pepper and truffle. Very blue fruited with incense, sandalwood and a touch of mint. Some roasted character after extended aeration. Tannins were just so resolved. In a prime window.
March 11, 2017 - Paulee. Not clean cork.
March 9, 2017 - Zachys La Paulee "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Small glass, late night, brief note. More black vs red fruit, all fully mature with great spice. VG concentration. Probably best to enjoy within the next decade.
May 1, 2014 - Acker Paulee Dinner (The Fourth, NYC): Black fruit, bacon and faded spice. I was fading too at this point, but the wine didn't stand out.
May 1, 2014 - Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (The Fourth - New York NY): Tasted late in the evening. Lots of mature black berry and cherry with great spice. I wouldn't expect this to get any better from here.
November 23, 2012 - Friday after Thanksgiving (FAT) (Palm Beach Gardens FL): Tasting, brief note. Lots of very ripe black cherry and blackberry, showing in an advance and mature style. Lots of great mushroom character. Still in its peak drinking window, but I'd expect this was better a few years ago than right now.
November 23, 2012 - Friday after Thanksgiving II (Palm Beach Gardens, FL): Dark, a bit sloppy in texture, but wonderfully expressive and deep. Dark fruits. Good detail.
September 7, 2012 - Wow. Youthful and delicious. Grand cru quality. Unexpectedly good. Classic Vosne nose, slightly reduced on the palette. Wish I had more.
