Monday, March 25, 2019 - Domaine Armand Rousseau - Chambertin and Clos de Beze Dinner (Imperial Treasure Shanghai, Ngee Ann City, Singapore): What a lovely start to the night; this was firing on cylinders. The nose had a lovely Gevrey character to it, with a beautiful undertows of meat, earth and a little exotic spice wafting out of the glass alongside beautiful red-fruited aromas with floral rose-petal accents. Wow. The palate still had a slightest edge of 1995’s lean, structured character, but it has come around really nicely since its youth, with a beautiful blush of sweet cherry fruit, gentle florals and lovely earth and spice notes, all filling the mouth with a beautiful, floaty feel above over the attack and midpalate. Almost ethereal I thought. It lacked just a bit of oomph right at the finish, with the fruit drifting behind a more structural character, with a bit of a brambly twist just sneaking in at the very end. Absolutely lovely stuff otherwise, and probably showing at peak now.
