  Showed beautifully. Lovely tart red fruits with a nice spice component.

  Popped ‘n poured. Light red color, minimal signs of age.
  The nose is, as a reviewer below says, totally entrancing. Initially, black earth, but it blows over quickly to reveal spices, cherry, liquorice, and this bizarre medicinal absorbine junior like minty note. Entrancing…
  The mouth is light but with muscle, chiseled but easy drinking, with a slightly woodsy, serious and muscular finish. Excellent wine, entering its prime with a good 5 years still to go, at least. 95 for for me, maybe more.

  2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): This was quite nice tonight. It had such an entrancing nose, with lovely sweet red cherries and berries, perfumed florals, a touch of mint, a bit of bramble, and just a tiny hint of earth and meat. Lovely Gevrey character here. The palate had a bit of a sterner feel than the nose suggested, with a firm spine of chewy tannins running through otherwise pure, lifted flavours of red berries, cherries and just a little bit of spice and bramble, all this enlivened by a tons of lovely acidity. Delicious, and very charming, but just a touch firm and rustically structured, with those woody tannins hanging around the edges of the wine. This unfortunately gave the wine a rather four-square feel. Still though, this was very enjoyable, and clearly the best showing out of the 3 bottles I have had in recent years. If anything, tonight's tasting bodes well for the wine's future. I would leave it aside for another 4-5 years; it should be drinking even better then.
