La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): Late night popped-and-poured. Very ripe and noticeably tannic to start, making it less approachable or classically Vosne. This brightened up nicely. Retasted 30 minutes later(also cooled down), this showed so much power with black and red cherry, plus impressive concentration, nearing a good sense of balance. Better to cellar longer, 94+ point potential.

Garnet in color, so heavy almost like a Syrah upon opening. With air, damn, Cros P magic. Such fineness, intricate layers and layers of opulent spice, red/dark fruit, woody touch, slight oak, but all in perfect balance and just so attractive. Huge wine really, bigger-than-most-Richebourg structure if that makes sense. Every new glass offers more flavors, in another layer, in another dimension, one berry here, another there. Pure precision on the palate, especially for a generally overripe vintage. 95+

Dark cherry, oak spice, herbs and cinnamon on the nose. Palate shadowed the nose with a lovely mineral attack. Amazing structure on the palate which became expansive and grippy with air. Tightly knitted and high density. It has just entered its early drinking window with plenty of upside.

The nose is a simmering beef stock seasoned with plenty of Asian spice. It is full, sweet and textured with black cherry fruit and plenty of meaty nuance. The finish is gentle and long with nice underlying minerality.

Opened at 5pm and served at 9pm. Amazing structure with dark fruit, cinnamon, minerals and earth. Great structure with good punchy. Really liked it.
