  October 15, 2021 - Pure, lacy, spice and earthy flavors. Somewhat angular and round at the same time. Herbal. 93

  October 8, 2021 - Dinner with Friends at Verve Chicago (Verve Chicgo): PnP
  
  A nice but far too young palate of spice dark red fruit, minerals framed but youthful wood. Medium body, soft package and tight, and certainly needs more time.

  January 8, 2020 - 2014 Burgundy Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Very good, if showing a touch on the modern side tonight. It had a lovely nose - lush and generous, with dark cherries and ripe wild berries, earth and mineral, and then a lovely spiciness and a bit of new oak rounding it off. There was just a touch too much oak aroma in there in its youth, but otherwise really nice. The palate was just lovely, showing pure, lush flavours of black cherries and berries, lined with a nice but of mineral and earth - all these framed by a fine structure of firm tannins and bright acidity. There was platy of muscle and strength on this, all the way though into a long finish with a hint of bittersweet black tea. This was perhaps a bit modern in its polished thickness and obviously more extracted style, compared to say the elegant 2014 JM Millot Grands-Echezeaux a couple of flights back, but there was nevertheless a beautiful purity and transparency to the wine throughout. Very good indeed, but this needs plenty of time before its peak. The other bottles will remain cellared for another 6-8 years before I come back to them.

  October 31, 2019 - Lunch at Cloudstreet (Cloudstreet, Amoy Street, Singapore): Really young still, but this was a very solid expression of Grand Echezeaux - bravo! The nose was controlled, but had a lovely expression, with a really attractive bouquet of wood spice, dark berries, earthy mineral and violets. A deep, dark, enticing nose. The palate had a lovely depth and breadth to it, with quietly powerful notes of dark berries wound around a core of earth, mineral and warm spice. I love the sweeping strength and power of this, yet it was also quiet and contemplative, with a lovely sense of cut, balance and definition stretching all the way into a long, poised finished that was kissed by a little bit of orangey citrus acidity. Wow. I was so impressed with this. Drinking well young, but it really would benefit from a decade in the bottle. Super.
