P: Med, poss LM, body; NICE frt met by an astringent pucker, yet with a swtness than extends into & through the LONG, VERY slightly spicy finish with an almost swtish sense to the very, VERY fine tannins. NEEDS into '20 (min?), then drinking into its 10th? Amazing potential here! My EXC-/EXC, poss even higher down the line? 16/20 Jancis Robinson (Harding, 1/11/17). [As of late Jan '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $119 -- unless one is willing to commit to a "future order" of a 6 bottle cs @ $81/bottle.]

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Bright red cherry start, with black cherry in the background from middle through finish. Licorice and dried herbs nicely integrated. Good weight and depth, nicely forward for a young NSG.

La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Very good concentration and density for a village wine. Big boned with serious structure. Slight darker fruited than the Bourgogne. 89-91
