Wednesday, August 26, 2020 - Dog Year Wines (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Oh wow. A pristine bottle, showing rather youthful at almost 40 years of age, this was a left-bank Bordeaux par excellence. What a nose this had. Classic, classic Pauillac, with lovely draws of cassis and sweet black cherries, then earth and graphite and fragrant wafts tobacco spice. I just loved this. The palate was pure Latour - power, strength and nobility, with a superb structure of fine velvety tannins and perfectly integrated acidty wound around a tremendously pure core of cassis and black cherries, then earth, and mineral, graphite and a little sprinkle of tobacco spice - all wonderfully integrated into a perfect, warmly delicious whole. This almost brought tears to my eyes. As perfect a left-bank as one could ask for. What a finish too - long, effortless, noble, with a beautiful pull of cassis and spice that just refused to quit. Wow. Absolutely wonderful - this was surely one of the greatest Bordeaux wines I have ever had.
