Dark Iodine earthy nose with a whiff of volatility in the beginning. Concentrated dark and red fruit. Good length. Almost fizzy acid. Multifaceted but bold as well. I like it, but I'm not quite in love. Update after 24h: Longer, more harmonious, nose sparkling Starting to fall in love 95++

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Ripe, spicy and overall alluring aromas. Black and red fruit everywhere, this is massive and very concentrated. Already nuanced on finished with explosive energy I find ever so exciting already. Just fantastic 95+ point potential.

La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Bigger and more powerful nose here, and more black fruit mixed in with the red fruit. Powerful and dense on the palate. The fruit starts approachable before getting clamped down with firm structure. Good freshness despite the firmness. A wow wine in the making. 95+

Fabulous dark fruit, good acidity, excellent balance, nothing warm or overripe here. Outstanding.
