La Paulée de SF Verticals Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): 11/08/05 Vertical. A favorite Jadot bottling of mine that really sings with 20+ years of age, so fun to check in on these youngsters together. The '11 is very fruited and simple/primary at this stage. Very hard tannins shut this down quickly. Needs time, and hopefully the fruit can hang in there while the tannins soften. Difficult vintage to call.

Dried herbal notes like that of an over aged wine with a puckering level of tannin and acidity.
Huge disappointment

Quite light coloured, not particularly developed
Nice red fruit aromas, but a bit one dimensional
Medium bodied lacking the concentration I expect from a Grand Cru, still some hard tannins in the finish
A bit disappointing

La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. In 11/08/05 vertical. Red and black cherry with good balance and elegance, especially for the vintage. Not quite Grand Cru density to e, but easy to enjoy now.

A Slice of La Paulée's 2018 Burgundy Producer Verticals Tasting (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Light, some brown. Funky nose. Light, earthy feel. Some green, not much fruit. This doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
