  Zachys La Paulée "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Small glass from magnum, brief note. Black fruit, meaty and very Gevrey with rustic styling. Very good density.

  Good but cloudy color. Strong nose of funky barnyard and decayed cherries. Really old school Burgundy with classic '93 structure and high acidity but this wine has finally integrated and there is plenty of ripe cherry fruit to balance things out. Taut with excellent concentration and complexity on the grippy finish with notes of minerals and cherry spice. It needed 1 hour of air to show its best and kept improving until the last sip.

  Mature, ready and still vibrant and bright, nice red fruit, maybe a little short on the finish, otherwise very good

  CSJ, Fourier, Esmonin and Rousseau table (La Trompette, London): Yes, a good bottle of this. Lovely bright red fruit. Lovely lift. Very 93. A purity of fruit here, in the red spectrum. Bright and precise and fine. ****

  VERY happy with this bottle! Wonderfully complex old school aromatics with mellow plum and cherry fruit behind a beguilling veil of sous bois. Enticing spicy and leathery notes. Velvety and perfectly "dusty" palate with plenty of layers and gorgeous length. Entirely resolved, and I don't see this improving much from here.
