Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 11, 2012 - Post-Dinner Cellar Raid with Ludovic Belin and Vincent Rapet (Extra Space, Singapore): Boy, this was excellent. It had a beautiful Vosne-like nose, with deep draws of black cherries and some red date nuances, drifts of earth, toast and wood spice - very deep, masculine aromas, but really nice. This just drew you in. The palate was lovely too. Surprisingly fresh and bright for a 2000, it had a good amount of acidity behind a darkly lush, velvety mouthful of blackberries and black cherries layered over a deep, earthy background before the wine opened up into a more lifted, wood-spice saesoned finish. This wine had lovely Grand Cru depth wed to a very nicely balanced feel that made it a really delicious drink. This has started putting firm footsteps onto its peak drinking period, but it should continue improving for some years yet. At the moment, it is at the cusp of becoming a really beautiful wine.
