  La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): Small La Paulee pour. So charming with earthy red fruit alongside equal amounts of earth and mushroom. Plenty left in the tank. Quite likely a recent library release.

  Glistens like a ruby jewel. This was in terrific form. The nose is cool and rocky with some pomegranate, cherry and strawberry fruit. It is so fine and lacy in the mouth with beautiful detail and flavours that play between sweet and savoury. It really builds through the palate fanning out on the finish and cut with minerally acidity. Extremely classy wine.

  Old Leroy label suggestive of an original release bottle. A tattered and stained label led me to have low expectations for a 56 year old village wine. I could not have been more pleased with the wine in the bottle. Significant bricking at the meniscus, but still a garnet core. Somewhat cloudy. Incredibly perfumed and and complex nose of pure red fruit, oolong tea, sous-bois and a host of tertiary notes I can't put into words. I could have smelled this wine for hours. It did not disappoint in the mouth--beautifully rich and full. This "Beaune" must have contained some premier and even grand cru fruit. It was simply too good to have been village wine. It was fully mature without any hint of being manipulated or extracted. I've drunk the '53 Leroy la Romanee, and for the money I'd rather have four of the Beaune over one bottle of the grand cru.
