Hugely rich nose - the hedonistic style is classic CSD. Opulent on the palate, but balanced with a nice tang. Creamy and so easy to drink. Astonishingly expensive though (£550/bottle). Group and Jasper WOTN

Grand Tasting - La Paulee de San Francisco (Westin St. Francis - San Francisco CA): Superb ripe red and black fruit with a great rose/floral aromatic quality. Same great fruit on palate with wonderful spice. Long and powerful, perhaps just slightly less in both regards vs. the Clos de la Roche, but this is more alluring and perfumed.

Some Notes from the 2012 La Paulee Grand Tasting (Westin St. Francis, San Francisco): Again, what a glorious, harmonious feel in the mouth. Loads of perfectly ripe fruit with more acidity than any of the other wines and real Chambolle/Morey tanginess. Gorgeous finish that just does not stop. These last 3 Ponsot Grand Crus were all very great and the pinnacle of what we tasted today.

Grands Crus of Morey St-Denis with Jasper Morris MW (Zoom!): Vines planted in 1905. Destemmed again, but no new oak.

Tangy silk and lace with seamless power. This will be a great wine. Served from Magnum, which at this point in its evolution is not so significant.
