Upon initial pour, Dried rose, a bit of funky manure, asphalt, ripe raspberry, soft cheese. With air, the funky notes went away. Overripe cherry and cheese notes, raspberry, cassis, vanilla.
Palate: cherry, subtle medicinal herbs, leather.
A bit thin on the palate it improved with air.
Medium alcohol (13.5%), medium- body, medium acidity. Fine but present tannins. It doesn’t scream typical Pinot noir, but it’s interesting to see how ripe the 2015 vintage can get depending on the producer.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. So impressive, probably one half notch above the Grands-Echezeaux. Red and black cherry - brawny, rich and powerful. Still a bit oaky, but there is so much great stuff here, starting a decade+ from now. 94-96 point potential.

Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. This is well made, while lush and succulent, there is also good freshness.
