Saturday, March 5, 2016 - 2013 Comte de Vogüé Masterclass Tasting at La Paulée (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Deeper ruby. Deeply pitched nose that gives the sense of meatiness and the ever present soil. Fascinating array of menthol, florality, ripe red and blue fruit, and significant spice. More somber than the others. Medium bodied but more generous, mouth coating, and sappy than any of the others. More blue/red fruit and chewiness here but still great focus. Crisp acidity that is not quite as strident, round tannins, and a rising soil filled finale. This is deceptively approachable now for its relative roundness compared to the rest of the range, but there is plenty of acidity and tannin lurking underneath to carry this for decades. Wonderful wine and such an interesting contrast to the 3 Chambolle-based bottlings.
