  6 Decades of La Tache: Perhaps we were simply lucky with this bottle of 79 La Tâche, but it was obviously a profound example of great Vosne-Romanée. One of those wines with an almost room-filling bouquet, offering red currant, raspberry, cumin, leather, soy, sun dried tomato, and tea. But what’s more, and what really makes this great, is the dichotomies it embodies, fine-boned yet intense, mature yet fresh (skewed towards maturity). At or past its apogee, this is a compelling wine.

  Dried flowers, forest floor aromatics. Fairly savory palate. (12642/7600)

  From magnum. Started slow but picked up intensity and depth after an hour of air time. 94-95

  La Paulee 2020 - Gala Dinner (Pier 60): Magnum. Quite nice, sleeky lifted acid, nice accompanying florals. 93

  An ok but not great bottle, without the balance that this wine should have. Smooth dark red fruit, but some acid poking through on the finish. Overall lacking the nuance that even this vintage should have. 91-92
