  Notes on Wines from December 2021 (Wellington, NZ): Served double blind by Mike. Appealing Chambolle red cherries and other bright, clean red berry fruit. Some cinnamon and other spices, cocoa and a little dried herbs development. Signature Fourrier sympathetic winemaking. Something I often see on 2003 red Burgundies, drinking younger (say 2006 – 2008) than would be expected. No sign of stereotypical 2003 stewed fruit, although I know Jean-Marie handled the heat of the vintage particularly well. Bright and clean red berry and cherry fruit. Very attractive but lacking the nuance and complexity needed for a bigger score. Drink before say 2025.

  Pretty, strawberry cherry fruit, sweet and mellow in the middle. Soft. Could do with more acidity.

  Dinner at Lucky House Cantonese Private Kitchen (Upper East Coast Road): What a beautiful nose it had, the loveliest on the night, with drifts of florals, sweet cherries and a twist of herb and mineral, all shaded with a bit of sweet oak. Really pretty. The palate was decent rather than great, with red berries layered with powdery tannins and earthy, little herby notes. Altogether quite pleasant, with a nicely juicy transperancy for a 2003, but just lacking a touch of elegance that I would expect from a Fourrier Chambolle.

  Atypical year as we all know, however what a delicious velvety smooth gorgeously rich burg with spicy, leathery,undergrowth 2ndry characteristics.Excellent with many years ahead. Unfortunately my last bot.

  Nose offers up leather, smoke, spice and ripe small red fruits. Rich ripe fruit consistent with hot vintage but nice integration of fruit,acid and tannins.
