La Paulee Gala (San Francisco CA): La Paulee Gala. Starts with lovely white flowers and apple, perhaps slightly candied apple on nose and palate, then shows lots of silky texture, and then (wham!) power along with finesse on the long finish. That's what i wrote, even if I don't fully understand it in hindsight. This was the first DRC Montrachet I have ever had the good fortune to try. Where do I go from here? Of course I had the chance to try two more vintages (78 and 73) in the next 15 minutes, so really...where do I go from here? The 1985 is the finest white wine I have ever had.

My notes are a little short on this wine as I was still enraptured by the previous wine, but there was no loss of appreciation.
Still youthful colored, with some honey, almonds and minerality. This wine has cleaned up and leaned up over time, with great minerality, custard, and lemon curd. An ethereal level of balance here and texture, that belies its palate weight. More flowers and perfume. A beautiful wine at peak. 97 pts
