On the palate it is full bodied with pineapple, stone fruits and more minerality than Le Grand Bussière from the same vintage. Also seems to be slightly austere with a bitter finish. Not as long as the Le Grand Bussière. Overall I think I prefer Le Grand Bussière despite its higher alcohol content. Maybe this just needs more time? 88-89

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting, 12/09 vertical. More density and power vs 2012 but less nuanced textures and flavors. Good now, no upside.

Nez intense sur le miel et les notes fumées. Bon équilibre en bouche et beaucoup de vinosité. Le fruit est un peu dominé par l'élevage.
