Wednesday, May 20, 2015 - 2001 Vosne-Romanée Grand Cru Dinner (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Takashimaya): The first of a truly great triumvirate of Richebourgs, this just about blew my mind. It had every hallmark of a great DRC, starting with a lovely, super-complex nose, with whole cluster nuances of boiled herb and bramble accompanied by blush of dried flowers and sweet Vosne spice, a gentle earthiness and then deep aromas of dark cherries and sweet blueberries. Wonderful. The palate elicited a big “wow” on my notes. This was at weighty and velvety and pure, with a truly luxuriant feel in the way its wonderful flavours of dark cherries and blueberries with a gentle infusion of spice and dried flowers coated the mouth in a deep, velvety cloak. Pure luxury someone said. A deeply integrated reservoir of acidity kept it beautifully clean and defined in spite of all that velvety depth, all the way into a long minerally finish. Superb stuff – this was power wed to elegance, purity and finesse. Drinking beautifully now, this was another bottle that showed even better than 9 months ago.
