Assessing 2021 Burgundy-La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (Fairmont Miramar, Santa Monica): Light red. Forward, complex wood char, dark fruit, and menthol. Medium weight, bright acids, lovely supple red fruit, and an open knit texture. Not at all tart, gentle tannins. This may not be a profound Enfant Jésus, but it stood out for its elegance and exquisite balance. Extremely successful for the year and a wine I would enthusiastically purchase for the cellar.
