  April 16, 2019 - 2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): Absolutely superb again - this was probably the best wine of the night amidst a fairly strong line-up. What a nose it had - everything you would expect an RSV to be - wood spice, fragrant dried florals; dark cherries and plums; dried earth, some meatiness; and then little lifts of menthol and orange peel. Wow. Like so many of the wines tonight, the palate still felt a little tight, a little young, but boy was it seriously good. Transparent, pure, with a wonderful stone of fresh orangey acidity running through quietly compelling flavours of black cherries and blackberries, plums maybe, and then a lovely seasoning of Vosne's wood spice, which drew the wine into a long, earth and mineral infused finish. With time, a lovely flush of dried violets came out as well. Fine-boned, almost sinewy tannins still gave the wine a serious, rather muscular frame. But above that, this was just a beautiful pure, elegant expression of its terroir. I have really been drinking my bottles too fast - while so delicious now, this great RSV really does deserve at least another 4-5 years in the cellar.
