Thursday, February 29, 2024 - Pierre Morey/Fourrier Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Bicyclette, Los Angeles): Same saturation as 2017. Aromas of soil and herb at first, then more fruit, including citrus peel, later. Weight somewhere between the first 2 vintages. Clearly a sweeter, riper entry than the 2017, but this has nice tanginess as well. Blue and black fruit, solid acidity, moderate ripe tannins, and soil that runs the length of the wine in a refined way. Anise twist that is not as prominent as in the 2019. At once, excellent density and a sense of elegance. More than approachable tonight, but not nearly as expressive as the 2017. This is clearly outstanding too and will be a marvelous, rather chewy CSJ with more time in bottle. I would hold this at least until its 20th birthday.
