  February 18, 2018 - Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A super yummy wine. This had a seriously sexy nose right from the start - red cherries, toast, earth and spice, some sweet floral accents - absolutely lovely. The palate was wonderful too. Sweet and fleshy, yet pure and transparent at the same time, with beautifully deep flavours of red cherries seasoned with spice and violets. An absolutely lovely mouthful. Not quite as complex as one or two of the other Ruchottes bottlings on the night perhaps, but this was pure deliciousness - a wonderfully drinkable, almost sexy expression of the terroir. Yum! This was just about the right time to drink the wine I think - unusually for a 1999, I am not sure it has the chops to really age into the long term.
