In a beautiful place. Forest floor, bright clean fruit and a framework of tannin and acidity in great balance. My only criticism would be a lack of power in this Grand Cru. Lovely

NDG 2002 Clos de Vougeot Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): Pretty good. Like the Perrot-Minot that preceded it, this also showed quite a bit of extraction and oak influence, but I thought it wore it better than the first wine. The nose showed a bit of toast and spice, more of that overt oaky vanillin character, then some meat, earth, and a touch of green cherries and something a bit vegetal at the sides. Decent enough. The palate was rather more controlled than the Perrot-Minot for sure, showing red fruit laced with wood spice and a bit of earthiness. There was a nicely balanced feel to it, with a good clarity and litheness to it in spite of the obvious oak and extraction - I enjoyed the wine. Drinking well now.

Clos de Vougeot 2002 Horizontal: Also here, clearly on the riper side. The palate is cleaner and more polished than the one from Perrot Minot. Earthy notes, dark fruit, a bit of heat on the finish unfortunately.
