La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Walkaround tasting. Also all red fruit, complex, nuanced, and layered. Not a powerhouse, but so wonderfully elegant, textured, and alluring. A clear highlight today. Cellar until 2030 forward, then enjoy for the next few decades.

Assessing 2021 Burgundy-La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (Fairmont Miramar, Santa Monica): Light ruby. Piercing green tones. Also lighter weight but surprising penetration, expansion, and impact. Less forward red fruit but more earth than the Suchots. Tarter in the mouth and more layered structure as well. An essentially delicate yet complete wine. Bravo, Charles van Canneyt for crafting such gorgeous wines from this challenging year.
