  Slow oxed for two hours. Slightly pinched nose of red cherries and forest floor. The wine is fully mature, red fruited and quite light on its feet for a Latricieres chambertin with fully resolved tannins. Flavors of wild strawberries, herbs and forest floor come through although they don’t quite come together with the earthy elements having a little too rustic edge. Nice complex finish.

  All 9 Gevrey Grand Crus (Straits Clan, Singapore): A pretty good showing without being mind-blowing. This had a nice nose, classic Latricieres to me - with funky smells of meat and earth, some steely, ferrous mineral, and then a nice lift of red fruit. An attractive bouquet. The palate had a nice charm to it as well, with soft cherry fruit lined with warm spice and mineral, all wrapped in firm, fine-boned tannins and bright acidity as tracing their way into a slightly bittersweet finish. The spice component then just grew and grew towards the end of the evening. Very pleasant and enjoyable, elegant even, even if not absolutely compelling.

  Decanted a couple hours. Gorgeous nose, complex and interesting with nice bouquet of dried fruit, plums, flowers, and earth. Initial flavor profile was nice, good fruit, integrated tannin, some mineral, but was a bit hollow towards the finish and very green, stemy flavors. A bit disappointed in this one.
