  February 18, 2018 - Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Another superb Rousseau Ruchottes. There seemed to be a touch of brett on the nose - strange for a Rousseau, but this was very nice otherwise. The slightly sweaty hints on the bouquet did blow off eventually though and then sweeter tones of red fruit, meat, earth and spice started drifting out with a bit of florals. The palate was lovely throughout though - fresh, pure, velvety, with the finest tannins wrapped around a beautiful core of red fruit touched with earth and mineral and spice, with a long, gentle drift of orange peel and sweet dried cherry peel at the end. Wow. What a wine. Drinking wonderfully now as well.
