Tuesday, April 16, 2019 - 2002 Burgundy Dinner (Chef Kang, MacKenzie Road, Singapore): Very impressive. A muscular wine, still rather tight and unyielding; but this already significantly better than the bottle I had a couple of years' back. The nose was a rather clenched bouquet of earth and savoury meat along with dark berries and a bit of spice. Deep, compelling, but still tight. The palate was still quite clenched as well. There was a delicious core of dark cherries and blackberries infused with Vosne's wood spices, but this was tightly wound-up with a great structure of fine-boned tannins and fine acidity. What really impressed me though was how transparent and pure the wine was - really fine and very complete for an Echezeaux. It had such an impressive finish too: tight and sinewy as with the rest of the wine, but at once also effortless pure, transparent and impeccably balanced as it wound its way through the back-palate. The raw material of a great wine is definitely here then, and it was certainly no crime to have drank it now - but this has just so much more to give. It really should be given tons and tons of time yet - 6-8, maybe a little more, and it will be lovely.
