  Very young and very fresh with a beautiful red fruit nose. Palate needs more time to integrate but shows lots of lift with the tannins only being prominent at the back end. Overall well balanced. More of a Village in terms of weight and complexity at this stage; perhaps it will improve with time, but a very good drink and well recommended for the price.

  The Verticals Tasting at 2023 La Paulée (Eventi Hotel, New York): Lighter ruby. Menthol and soil. Light weight. Lovely red fruit, excellent acidity and soil. A true terroir wine and leagues apart from the 2015, which is so much riper, sweeter, and altogether more modern. I really like this too.

  Good, but does not reach the heights of Caillerets

  I bought this off the list, so it was followed over the course of lunch. The nose was giving right away, but it really turned on after about 45 minutes with raspberries, dark red cherries, Forrest floor, violets, porcini powder, cranberries, roses, earth, clove spices, herbs, and a touch of sweet tobacco. This really hit into the upper register with a slightly savory take that was inviting. The Medium bodied feel is deft and balanced with crisp, medium+ acidity and silky, medium tannins. This is clearly young. But, it’s also really lovely right now and starting from a strong base. This will likely benefit from 7+ years of aging before it begins to really show off what it has.

  PnP on its own. Earth, damp moss, and a bright cranberry note on the nose. Wide swath of red fruits, roses, acidity, and wet stones glides over the tongue with a prickly character leading into the finish. Long, soft and very fine tannins with cherry, tart cranberry, and a smooth, caressing, mouthfeel on the finish, adding some floral notes at the end. Very elegant - it shows its pedigree. You love drinking it but really want the glass to last.
