Antoine Jobard/Hudelot-Noëllat Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Kato, Los Angeles): Magnum. Similar in color to the 2016. Less piercing green aromas. Medium weight, probably the most supple and fluid of the 3 vintages. Briary black fruit with some green elements, chalky and saline. Earthy, chocolatey finish. This doesn’t clobber you with its power like the 2019, but the more you sip, the more you appreciate its sneaky length and surprising clout. Powdery tannins frame the wine and again should give decades of life.

Bright translucent ruby. Popped and poured at Acker HK auction. Really exciting nose. Raspberry sherbet, crunchy red fruit, great soil/spice elements. Lovely balance and mouthfeel. Great energy and lift. Really wanted to drink this. Length built after drinking. Very impressive and nothing wrong with 2011 from this producer! Pricey but great!

Killer stuff. Great weight and stuffing. Considerable spice and dark berry fruit. Lengthy on the finish.
