Impressions from the 2014 La Paulee Verticals Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco): Deep ruby. Dark red fruit and spice. Great length, zesty acidity. Wonderful cling and roundness without being heavy. So balanced and so much depth of fruit that it is remarkably open for a 2010 Grand Cru. Some might object and find it a little New Worldish, but I thought this was delicious. All it is lacking is complexity at this point.

La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Very concentrated, with a forward and opulent character to start, then firming structure middle to finish. Very good.
