Antoine Jobard/Hudelot-Noëllat Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Kato, Los Angeles): Magnum. Deep ruby. Large scaled and deeply concentrated. Brambly mix of dark red and blue fruit that slowly cracks open with time. Lots of green and soil in the middle. Massive but ripe tannins, clinging finish. Highly structured, old fashioned Burgundy that does not make any concessions yo early approachability. This is packed but forget about it for another 25 years. As with all of these Malconsorts, I would have wagered on a goodly percentage of whole cluster, and I would have been wrong as they are completely destemmed. Charles stated that he has experimented with this but doesn’t like the decreased acidity that stem inclusion brings.

Pearl of Burgundy special cuvee lunch: All the H-Ns '19s have been overripe in my opinion, and this was no exception. Too much purple and plummy fruit for my liking. Think the only wine I liked from this vintage was the Bourgogne.
