La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty - New York NY): In great Echezeaux flight, this was the star. Complex array of red and black cherry with earth and robust spice. Very good density, depth and length. Seamless start-to-finish. I haven't had this wine in at least a decade, but it is so much better now than ever before. No surprise, that is 1993.

Light brick. Nose of autumn leaves, leather, touch of barnyard, beautifully tertiary. Fantastically elegant palate, only Burgundy can be like this, elegant, yet present. Mature, drink up.

Popped and poured. A simply fantastic. It of crushed red and black berry fruit, damp earth and sweet brown spice notes. Medium bodied with lovely texture and a medium plus finish.

Deep nose of ripe pinot fruit and wild raspberries, with great sous bois and sauvage aromas. Great balance in the mouth between the tannins and acidity, with a long mouthcoating finish. beautiful.

LIght on its feet but has sneaky backbone with sweet dark fruit balanced with fine acidity. Drinking very nicely still, and I think will for a few more years yet....

Wonerful floral nose . Initially full of sweetness and complex layers of fruit. After ten minutes the fruit faded. The backbone was still there but it was not the same. At or near end of life.

The Brothers Hersh tempt me with Burgundy... (Seattle, WA): Menthol on the nose. Wow, this is tightly wound but with a beautiful core to this wine, raspberry interplays with lots of other complexity, although this is ultimately very tight.

Very tired. Hardly any fruit remaining with a harsh, metallic note on the palate. Too bad as other bottles from the same case have been wonderful.
