Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): A superb showing. This took awhile to get going, but with some time and air - wow! The nose was very Pierre Peters, with ripe white fruited apple notes along with a slightly oxidative lilt of white meat. Not bad. The palate though. Round, fleshy, grippy; with firm bead and a real spine of lemony acidity pierced through a truly large-scale, muscular mouthful of fleshy white fruit and citrus flavours, all this resolving in a lovely minerally finish. Delicious stuff. A wine of both power and definition, with all its weight and depth held in a lovely tension and balance by the sheer amount of dry extract, and that lovely spine of acid and mineral that gave it such a lovely shape. Super stuff. It needed a good half-hour in the glass before showing off its chops on the night. On this showing, I would actually put aside any bottles for a good 5-6 years at least before broaching again.
