April 30, 2014 - 1998 Burgundy Grand Cru Dinner (Cheng Hu Tien, Keong Saik Road, Singapore): The second of a beautiful pair of 1998 RSVs, this was another special wine. It had a nose that was at once gentler, more subtle than the Hudelot-Noellat that preceded it, but also deeper, more engaging, with dark fruited aromas tightly wound around notes of spice and dried earth and ried flowers. Really nice stuff. The palate was every bit as lovely, with deeply wound flavours of dark cherries and brighter red berries infused with a gentle floral perfume, all this framed by fine, very open-knit tannins and fresh acidity that gave a little grip at the finish. It had a thicker, creamier texture than the Hudelot-Noellat, but while this was still lacking some of the mature complexity of the previous wine, it had that same effortless grace packed into a rather more compact package. A very impressive, very enjoyable wine, and it still has it best years clearly some way ahead of it. I would give it another 4 or 5 years in the bottle before peak.
