Good bottle but a bit more advanced than the best I have had.

Very nice, great old color, barnyard smell, good palate feel and good finish. Decanted for 15 min but not served for 2 hours. Longer decant for the next btl.
Mid range red fruit with some appealing soil notes. Nice funk on the edges. Very good but not great. The CDR much better in '88. 93-94
Corked, but otherwise would have been at least a very good bottle.
2019 la Paulée Gala dinner. Badly corked.
Tour. Delicate and nuanced. Great vintage reflection.
Zachys La Paulee "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Corked. In very disappointing 88/90/93/00 vertical.
seductive perfumed nose of sweet earth and spice. fully mature. lovely.
La Paulee Gala (San Francisco CA): La Paulee gala. From magnum. Perfumed and spice-driven with nicely mature red fruit. Charming.
Spectacular Burgundy trip 2000 with Rob, Ed and J -- Needed time to open. Once it did, earthy exotic spices and fruits emerged.
