  从青春过渡到陈年状态的典范，入口依旧充满力度，酸度隐藏了起来，但在幕后支撑着结构，并在回味中逐渐清晰。单宁细腻丰富，带有令人舒服的颗粒感。相比口感，香气略显单一，但樱桃、红茶、紫罗兰的主调依然清晰，且带有一丝潮湿草本和矿物味。

  Richebourg + RSV for Mike and Pete's birthday (Holland Park, Singapore): Very similar impressions to a bottle a few months ago - good but not great, especially for an RSV. The tightest of its flight, this was very 1995 in its character. The nose had a powdered spice lilt to it, along with a chalky earthiness, some dark fruited plums and black cherries, a hint of sweeter violets and some Vosne spice. Pleasant enough, but a little unyielding. The palate again was marked with that tight, reserved character, with shades of sweet black cherries and berries peeking out amidst a structure of firm, fine-boned tannins and juicy acidity. Good strong finish though, with a nice touch of spice and a twist of minerality chasing behind. All in all, a quality wine, but lacking in a sheer enjoyment factor. I wonder whether time will cure this - maybe one to try again in another 5-6 years. Like many 1995s though, one wonders whether the fruit or the structure will outlast the other.

  RSV and Richebourg Dinner + Montrachet and La Tache (Holland Park, Singapore): Nice enough, but very 1995. A classic RSV, but still so young and rather tight. It started with pretty nose of sweet red cherries, fragrant Vosne spice, and crushed flower petals. Nice. The palate was layered with fine but firm tannins and a bit of acidity, and then fairly pure flavours of dark cherries, mineral and spice. Good weight, nice balance, but a bit tight and reserved like so many 1995s. The finish pulled away with a surprising amount of sinew, with a mouthful of fine tannins and minerality. I am not sure if the fruit will outlast the structure, but this has some quality on it.

  PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“No” day): Pale darker red to the eyes.
  
  Woody and a little sweet oaky on the nose that masked the other notes. Hard to pinpoint the origin initially, after some time some very nicely detailed fruits revealed.
  
  Nice acidity structure that gain kudos for the wine.
  
  92-93 points.

  Tasted blind: Palish ruby with substantial clear rim; Deep and effusive black cherry fruit with a slightly herbal and mint nose, almost a tad pungent out of the gate, it settled down quickly. This grew softer and more balanced with a few minutes in the glass and continued to blossom for an hour (til it mysteriously disappeared). Gorgeous wine! When unveiled, I was stumped not to find any trace of the characteristic Drouhin acidity. 94+
