Assessing 2021 Burgundy-La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (Fairmont Miramar, Santa Monica): Full ruby. Ripe fruit and plenty of mint. Medium to full bodied. Char, dark cherry, excellent acidity, and a long, dry tannic finish. Chewy but nicely restrained. Superb, classic young Nuits. Fifteen years ago, a Gouges Vaucrain from such a big vintage would have been far less approachable and much less enjoyable.

La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Walkaround tasting. Lots here, showing off a broad cross-section of cherry aromas and flavors. Lots here, still showing its firm tannins alongside ripe fruit. Better from 2030, 92+ point potential.

Nice raspberry dominate flavor. Well balanced. Medium finish.
