This is in a very nice place. In the begining there is the linearity of puligny but with some time the vicinity to meursault gets noticeable without losing the the crispiness of the puligny-minerals on the finish. Drink but no need to hurry.

Similar impression to a year ago, save perhaps that it is just a bit better on the finish. Benefits with 30-60 minute decant. Outstanding orchard fruit with underlying s acidity. Nice perfume as it slowly warms. Lovely.

Last bottle. Still very nice with good amount of white flowers and weight but has very nice acid base. Quite tasty

Excellent. Reticent on opening, but with 30 minutes of air blossoms into a deep, round, yet pointed wine. Stoney orchard fruit. Long finish. A pleasure to sip. 93+

Beautiful gold color. In a very good place. Fresh, but starting to mature. Rich, but nicely balanced, with pineapple, lemon, sea shell, and just a smidgeon of butter. Classic.

14 carat gold color. The nose is open on notes of white flowers, honeysuckle and lemon. On the palate powerful well-supported mid-palate and a long finish. The palate is very harmonious with a perfect combination of acidity and oak. The taste of the honeysuckle really seduced me and the mineral finish. A beautiful bottle that can be kept for many years but so beautiful now why not pop the cork !

Rich floral tropical fruit however I was not a fan of the buttery finish.

Superb. Big and deep for the vintage, but also refined and nuanced. No down side at this point.

Interesting, savoury, hint of butter, decent acidity, a little heavy/alcoholic.

Nose: Open and aromatic with apples, vanilla, pears, mineral notes, and some floral tones. Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acdidity. The feel is silky with excellent length. There is excellent depth too with apples, vanilla, pears, and mineral tones. Overall: This is lovely and nuanced. This is very drinkable right now, but there are legs for aging too.

Bright nose with lemon and other citrus fruits. Powerful, pronounced citrus fruits on the palate, lots of acidity and a long finish. Very nice wine.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA) : Tasting, brief note. Nicely floral with lemon curd and lemon peel. Fat and accessible, moderate intensity and length. Very good.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA) : Tasting, brief note. I liked this a lot. Intriguing combination of Meyer lemon, ripe apple with some tropical hints, with the acid and mineral driven textures that make me happy. Long finish. Excellent for its level.
