goodness, what a wine!!! long, complex, young and (incredibly) still tannic. Crammed full of amazingly beautiful fruit, ensuring perfect balance when the tannins finally melt. This should be extraordinary in another decade or two. 98++

Tasted out of a MAG. Very deep intellectual wine. Each sip presenting new spices and a kaleidoscope of fruit. Endless length nearly flawless. Will get better hold. 98+

Mini vertical of 95,96,00,04. This is the wine of the night. Very expressive with vr spice, herbs and sweet red currant. A feminine expression of rsv. I would not say this is a wow rsv, but it is very classic. Drinking well now with 1 point upside from aging.

Zachys La Paulée "Warm-up" Dinner (Sessions at the Presidio - San Francisco CA): In multi-flight 53/66/90/91/93/95/01 vertical. Very rugged with good enough fruit. Tough to predict how/ where/ when this will evolve into an exciting Romanée St. Vivant. I'd hold in the cellar for at least another decade if I owned any.
