It’s possible to like a wine and find it somewhat disappointing. Such is the case here:
The nose started off deep and meaty. In an hour or so it changed to black cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and baking spices. It mostly stayed this way—big and youthful.
The same could not be said for the palate, which came across muddled up front and stunted (perhaps by the oak) on the back palate. Maybe this just needs a little more time to develop—

La Paulee 2023: Got this spot on albeit in a step-by-step manner (but hey it was all done in one try). Very vibrant red fruit but still felt so young and unready, so landed on 1999 for the vintage. Classic Gevrey dark fruit but in a softer style so went for Charmes. Having brought the 02 Jadot alongside I was quite confident that this was a Jadot too since they shared the same winemaker signature. Good underlying material but just not fully integrated at the moment.

A mature garnet/brown colour; quite intense, rich, slightly gamey but still elegant fruit and a long finish. A beautifully mature Burgundy.
