Bouquet with lots of tertiary aromas – meat, blueberry liquor, minerals, mint, smoke. Bright acidity. Long and mouthfilling. Good balance. Tannins faintly prominent suggesting structure to hold for many years. This is a wonderful wine experience. Those folks on CT who own these bottles are lucky.

A Slice of La Paulée's 2018 Burgundy Producer Verticals Tasting (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Light red. Fragrant with Christmas spices. Elegant yet sappy. Spicy red fruit, minimal wood, fine acidity, earthy finish. Particularly after the disappointing Millot wines, this was a bolt from the blue from a producer I'd never tried before. Absolutely lovely wine, a charmer rather than a powerhouse Grand Cru.

La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. In 12/11/03 vertical. Pure and elegant expression of red and black cherry with charming Asian five spice. Bright and nicely balanced with good weight. Lots of upside if this puts on weight as it ages.
