  January 8, 2020 - 2014 Burgundy Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): This was a real charmer. It started with a lovely nose - extremely perfumed, really floral, with notes of red fruit, alongside bits of savoury meat, and some wet stony mineral tones. The palate had a lovely clarity and transparency about it, with red fruit a the fore, and then tons of that wet stony minerality picked up on the nose. It was light and airy, but not insubstantial on the midpalate, with some floral notes coming up. On the backplate, some fine but firm tannins gave the wine some chew, leading to nice lengthy finish that ended with a little kiss of spice. Still a tad on the simple side, but this will not doubt pick up complexity as it ages. Nice. While no harm drinking now, it will clearly reward another 5-6 years in the cellar.

  September 25, 2019 - Leroux is making wonderful wines, and this was a bit more open than most of the other '14s I've had recently. This is concentrated but restrained, with vibrant red and dark fruits and sneaky depth. Not cheap but a decent value for a real GC.
