  62 Night. Served blind and guessed Rouget Cros Parantoux due to creamy aromatics. Very, very refined across aromatics and palate. Nail polish city, one of the cleaner Jayer I've had. This could use another 10 years.

  Henri Jayer Dinner (Ming San's): Somehow fuller, more modern in styling than any of the other wines on show, but wow - what a seriously good wine this was. The nose was fragrant with Vosne spice, roasted herbs and a twist of roots curled around deep wafts of dark cherry fruit and just that touch of charred, smoky oak. A compelling bouquet. The palate, as one would expect from a top 2001, was beautifully fresh and juicy, with a lovely, full expression of dark cherries lined with the smoothest of structures, with tannins like a rustle of silk across the mouth, and beautifully integrated acidity. Make no mistake though - for all its purity and finesse, this was a powerful, sinewy wine. A true iron fist in a velvet glove, that remained full and compelling all the way into a wonderfully long finish. Excellent, and showing beautifully well on the day.

  Again I thought this was marred by tca, there was some earthiness, mushrooms and tart berry fruits and what appeared to be good structure but the wine certainly was not 100% correct.
