  Pure, lacy, spice and earthy flavors. Somewhat angular and round at the same time. Herbal. 93

  Dinner with Friends at Verve Chicago (Verve Chicgo): PnP
  
  A nice but far too young palate of spice dark red fruit, minerals framed but youthful wood. Medium body, soft package and tight, and certainly needs more time.

  2014 Burgundy Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Very good, if showing a touch on the modern side tonight. It had a lovely nose - lush and generous, with dark cherries and ripe wild berries, earth and mineral, and then a lovely spiciness and a bit of new oak rounding it off. There was just a touch too much oak aroma in there in its youth, but otherwise really nice. The palate was just lovely, showing pure, lush flavours of black cherries and berries, lined with a nice but of mineral and earth - all these framed by a fine structure of firm tannins and bright acidity. There was platy of muscle and strength on this, all the way though into a long finish with a hint of bittersweet black tea. This was perhaps a bit modern in its polished thickness and obviously more extracted style, compared to say the elegant 2014 JM Millot Grands-Echezeaux a couple of flights back, but there was nevertheless a beautiful purity and transparency to the wine throughout. Very good indeed, but this needs plenty of time before its peak. The other bottles will remain cellared for another 6-8 years before I come back to them.

  Lunch at Cloudstreet (Cloudstreet, Amoy Street, Singapore): Really young still, but this was a very solid expression of Grand Echezeaux - bravo! The nose was controlled, but had a lovely expression, with a really attractive bouquet of wood spice, dark berries, earthy mineral and violets. A deep, dark, enticing nose. The palate had a lovely depth and breadth to it, with quietly powerful notes of dark berries wound around a core of earth, mineral and warm spice. I love the sweeping strength and power of this, yet it was also quiet and contemplative, with a lovely sense of cut, balance and definition stretching all the way into a long, poised finished that was kissed by a little bit of orangey citrus acidity. Wow. I was so impressed with this. Drinking well young, but it really would benefit from a decade in the bottle. Super.
