  La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Earthy with mature red fruit. Open and accessible for a 1995 with moderate depth. Other than being from the same plot and owned by the same family, this has little in common with the 2011 and 2012 in the vertical, given the multiple winemaking changes in between. Good for now.

  The Verticals Tasting at La Paulée 2016 (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Browning, some sediment. Green aromas. Slightly bigger than the 2 young vintages. Brown sugar, short finish, and the acid seems high and out of place. A second taste from a different bottle showed better balance and length, but the overall impression was not different-this is awkward, artificial, and probably over the hill. Totally different, more extracted style than currently. The oldest wine at the Verticals and certainly not the best.

  The nose and wine had limited offering for a rsv. The nose was muted with only some red fruits. The wine seemed to be one dimensional. It did not really have the freshness and elegance of a rsv. When it was drank side by side with the other big boys, it did not stand out.

  An impressive experience. For me simply impossible to describe all impressions. Nearly too much, exotic. I think those wines from places like Romanee St.Vivant, if from a good vintage and good producer, are completely apart from the "normal" Burgundy.
