La Paulee SFO 2025 — 23 days ago
The 2000 Musigny pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is an absolute smoke show with the most beautiful, delineated notes of fresh, ripe red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, licorice, red flowers, sous bois and gentle cool and warm spices. This beauty effortlessly dances across the palate, presenting dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish lasts an eternity. The texture is like finest mulberry silk. It’s weightless and yet, there was an undeniable richness. Utterly brilliant and for me, a core memory wine. Not that this comes as any surprise, but it was fabulous with the canard au vin rouge. Drink now through 2040. — a month ago

At the highly regarded “Somoza” restaurant in Niseko. The food was amazing - this wine overpriced at 47,000 Yen - $470 AUD for a Village wine. Quite a simple wine and a little closed. Was looking for the Chambolle perfume which was not there yet. The palate was uncomplicated and straightforward. Strawberry and raspberry, red currant. Medium minus palate length. Moderate tannins. French wine tends to be overpriced in Japan. — 2 months ago
