  Member’s Paulée at Planque Spring 2024 (Planque London UK): Still going strong. Nose of cherry cola and campfire. The palate is pure fresh fruit, forward and generally, delicious. The acidity is bright and linear offering nice balance and precision. Very very nice

  Drinking very well right now. Fresh, lively, vibrant. Tons of great, bright red fruit up front. Solid acidity to keep it light. One of my favorite producers of CA PN.

  Similar to our last bottle, but seemed to carry a bit more freshness. Lively aromas of sweet raspberry, rosehip, and violets. The palate nicely balances riper mixed berries with underlying savory earthen tones. Though this is somewhat ripe, it performs well in that context. R&M88

  The nose is contrasting, with sweet raspberry overlying horseradish, balsamic reduction, and violets. Ripe mixed berries open the palate, continuing against underlying elements of bay leaf, lavender, and root vegetables. There is a bit more of cedar presence on the finish in addition to flashes of earth and dried berries. Though medium bodied with adequate acidity, it feels as though the palate needs a bit more direction. This seems to be firmly new world in flavor, and certainly performs within that context.

  Similar to previous notes. Nose is a little less prominent but the wine is a joy in the glass.
