Somber red fruited scents, with turned earth, some wood, followed by red fruits, dense and grippy mid palate with fiery tannins from ferrous soils, ending in a persistent take no prisoner finish. At this stage still a rough gem lacking brilliancy, but all the underlying materials are there. A long snooze in the cellar is necessary.

Nose of roses, dark fruits and cherries. No funk. The palate is fresh and delicious, showing some elegant oak, nice sweet fruit with good depth, good acidic lift, and excellent persistence. There are a lot of tannins, but they are super ripe and very well managed. This should age wonderfully for decades. 93-94

The Verticals Tasting at 2023 La Paulée (Eventi Hotel, New York): Light red. All soil on the nose. Medium weight. Excellent sweetness of tart red fruit, then a long earthy finish. Very satisfying, reasonably accessible young, and much more complete than the 2014.

La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Walkaround vertical tasting. Bigger than the 2018 or 2017, more backward, but more of everything. Densely packed. Very exciting potential.
