La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Very pretty red fruit with earth and spice. Dense and powerful, but surprisingly accessible, which partly comes from the larger amount of topsoil in this vineyard at the bottom of the hill of Corton. Good already now, even better 2022 forward.
Some Wines from the 2018 La Paulée Grand Tasting of 2015 Burgundy (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Lighter color and weight (particularly noticeable right after tasting the Domaine des Croix Corton). Earthy red fruit. Fine, rendered in an elegant style, and a much more typical version than the preceding wine. One that needs time, a comment that did not come up frequently in my red wine notes today.

La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): An interesting exotic and herbal nose. Richly fruited dense and big. A little clunky. Upside if it smooths out. 88-90+
