  April 16, 2019 - 2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): This was quite nice tonight. It had such an entrancing nose, with lovely sweet red cherries and berries, perfumed florals, a touch of mint, a bit of bramble, and just a tiny hint of earth and meat. Lovely Gevrey character here. The palate had a bit of a sterner feel than the nose suggested, with a firm spine of chewy tannins running through otherwise pure, lifted flavours of red berries, cherries and just a little bit of spice and bramble, all this enlivened by a tons of lovely acidity. Delicious, and very charming, but just a touch firm and rustically structured, with those woody tannins hanging around the edges of the wine. This unfortunately gave the wine a rather four-square feel. Still though, this was very enjoyable, and clearly the best showing out of the 3 bottles I have had in recent years. If anything, tonight's tasting bodes well for the wine's future. I would leave it aside for another 4-5 years; it should be drinking even better then.
