An inviting nose of red fruits and spice. It has flesh and there’s something cool and stony lurking. It is quite creamy through the mid, deep of flavour and long and expansive. Tannins are ripe and acidity fresh. Really good wine.

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting in (great) vertical. Great aromatic start is bright and cheerful. Broad cross-section of cherry flavors with good weight, great length and weightless, nearly ethereal textures. Another great 2010 in the early part of its peak drinking window.

Ok, so I had this wine over a year ago at dinner with friends in DC. Now I went to dinner at a local restaurant in DC and the price was less than retail. Well, I have had 3 bottles in the last 2 months. 2/3 were spur of the moment purchases so the wine was pop and pour. The 3rd was strategic and the wine opened 1 hour before arrival at the restaurant. I did this because I was tired of the wine not opening and expressing its greatness until the end of the meal. I was absolutely right. This third bottle was absolutely incredible. Smoke, dark chocolate, bright cherries. My wife even said it was like the Mon Soiree cherry filled chocolates. Resolved tannins, beautiful elegant silky mouth feel. Balanced flavors yet complex structure. Not aggressive yet not weak in that if felt light but drank bold. Truly still in its youth with a great future. Drink now or hold you will love this wine. Now I need to find a source short of going to Burgundy to try and find. Sorry I don't have more but understand you won't regret acquiring and drinking this wine today.
