  Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Boudots Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Pretty good, if not quite a perfect example. This had a beautiful nose, with wonderful curls of red cherries shading into dark berry and plum notes, violets, and then a lightly green lift of bramble and vine stems, with more savoury hints of earth and meat running the edges. There was just that raw edge of raw ginkgo nuts and green herb that threw me off a bit, but otherwise really pretty. It was quite a big boy on the palate, with large-scale, darker-toned flavours of black cherries and wild berries, laced with a bit of wet stone mineral and a good bit of rather Vosne-nish wood spice in the mouth. I liked the structural feel that this had: the tannins were fine-boned but still gave a little grip, alongside a seam of fresh acidity that gave the wine a nice clarity inspite of its girth. It had a decent finish to end as well, with another lovely blush of warm spice at the end. It was just a tad drying on that back-palate with a touch of wood and perhaps a little hint of furry brett at the end. Apart from that, this was a rather complete wine, with tons of complexity going on, even if it paradoxically still seemed a little on the shy side at the moment. Already pretty good drinking if you do not mind your Burgs young then, but I would love to try this again in 3-4 years’ time when it should integrate further and develop a bit more.

  A 2014/2016 survey of Gerard Mugneret (Ken's, northbrook IL): Nose: The nose is deep and searching, filling the glass with plums, red cherries, raspberries, sour red fruits, spice tones, tobacco, licorice, and earth notes. This was a nose that was easy to get lost in and while it is clearly on the younger side, it is extremely expressive.
  
  Taste: The feel is Medium/full bodied with tart, medium+ acidity and youthful, medium+ tannins. The structure is still clearly youthful but the feel is gorgeous and balanced with plums, red cherries, raspberries, violets, sour red fruits, tobacco, and earth notes.
  
  Overall: This may be extremely young, but it is also drop dead gorgeous. There is a great amount of depth, poise, and complexity even at this young stage and it will certainly develop further.

  Wonderful 1er cru Burgundy. This wine is actually quite sappy with bigger more muscular black fruits than what I would normally expect. The soft 40% odd new oak is apparent in the sweeter vanilla and spice. I would age this further, but it is still super complex, balanced, intense and flavoursome now - the finish is just wonderfully long and lush.
