  La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Vertical. Magnum. Maybe this will be as exciting as the 2010 someday, but it will take longer. so 2005 in that respect. So much here, backward now.

  Blomster, røde bær, litt fatkrydder, vanilje - ikke helt integrert eik ennå, men lekker duft likevel. Flott fruktfylde i munnen, med diskret syre som gir akkurat riktig friskhet. Kraftig burgunder, men kanskje mindre enn forventet for en Pommard 2005 - faktisk nokså elegant. Deilig vin!

  2 hour decant, no notes, but remember this being very good for its level, and a little less heavy that I could have expected from '05 (which I find brooding in many cases) and Pommard

  As with my previous bottles, this benefited enormously from a little aeration. On opening it was shy on the nose and a bit simple on the palate. After half an hour or so it had blossomed into a wonderfully fragrant, elegant and savoury wine. Black cherry and raspberry with some background spice, a sensual texture with that ethereal quality sometimes found in the wines of Montille. The best (and sadly the last) of my four bottles.

  A semi opaque deep ruby-red. On night one at Tilia we opened this and started drinking 10 minutes later. This needed a lot more air then I could likely even have given it on night one. It was nearly everything wine drinkers didn't like about the plodding pre 1990s Pommards of the past. It was dense, brooding and lacking in any semblance of Burgundian nuance. Foursquare and blunt on night one with only some savory notes popping through the prominent tannins. I took the little over 1/2 btl home and tried it again tonight. WOW! the storm clouds parted and what an evolution overnight! Tonight, on night 2 this had majestic, nose diving, autumnal aromas along with loads of spice. Still robust and masculine in style and weight this was now showing the promise everyone keeps waiting for these '05s to show. Elegant, pure, confident, defined and layered nuance tonight. Expansive, penetrating suave layers of; black raspberry, cinnamon, minerals and forest floor on a much more exciting flavorful palate. This went from a nearly un-scoreable wine on the first night at Tilia to a near rock star on night 2. 93pts+ on 2nd night. Still some left that I'll try again tomorrow night.
