  April 16, 2019 - 2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): Beautiful. This was classic Leflaive. The nose had that arresting flint and chalky mineral edge, along with just a light brush of funky earthiness speaking to the wine's age, before a fragrant core of ripe red apples and honeyed pears with a yellow fruited accent took to the fore. If at all possible, the palate was both rich yet reserved at the same time, showing ripe red apples undergird with sweet lemon acidity and lovely mineral base - all beautifully integrated and wonderfully balanced, with really nice sense of cut and definition to it. Lovely chalky finish too, with a hint of spice coming out right at the every end. I have always found Leflaive's Batards to be one of the most elegant expressions of a terroir that can come across a but heavyset, and this bottle was a wonderful. Intensity with balance I thought. Lovely stuff, and just right for drinking now.
