Monday, September 16, 2019 - TNs: Female Burgundy Winemakers Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Absolutely lovely. This is just beginning to open up. The nose, which was tight and citrusy a couple of bottles back, has now taken on more expressive tones of apples, strawberries and buttery brioche, with a little touch of mineral and lemon zest in there. Lovely stuff. The palate was just delicious. The balance was absolutely spot-on, with precise focus and definition, yet a lovely soft freshness and transparency to it, all this framing beautifully detailed flavours of red apples, lemons, and gentle spice, with a touch of sweeter strawberry at the edge. All very subtle and unfailingly charming, but there was clearly quality and depth to go around here. Effortless and elegant, this was beautiful stuff, all the way into a long minerally tail. Yummy. I loved this.
