Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): Very lovely, even if this felt a tad young. It had a wild nose, with bits of funky meat and sous bois, and wafts bramble and spice, all wrapped around a fragrant core of dark cherries and blueberries. Nice. The palate was still a bit backward, maybe even a bit sullen compared to that expressive bouquet, but boy there was tons of quality on it. This just felt really polished, with velvety tannins and gently integrated acidity forming a backdrop for truly mouth-coating, Grand Cru-scale flavours of dark cherries and blueberries. There was also a firmer underbelly to the wine, with fine, but firm tannins showing up more obviously towards a long, fresh finish of black cherry peel seasoned with a touch of brambly wood spice. Really impressive, but this needs time though; it will be lovely in 4-5 years.
