Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 17, 2017 - 2002 Burgundy 1er Cru Lunch (Fragrance Teochew Restaurant): A solid wine, but it seem rather harder and more angular next to the beautiful pair of Amoureuses that preceded it. The nose was stunning though - with layers of sweet blue fruit, dried flowers and spice touched with more savoury tones of earth and meat. Wow. I thought the palate felt slightly tight and stubborn unfortunately. It had a good marriage of power and lovely clarity in its blue fruited notes, shading into brighter red-fruit tones on the midpalate, but it all seemed rather simpler and more angular, lacking the easy-going charm of even say the lovely, lush 2002 Vogue Amoureuses. It was firmer too, with a certain aristocratic aloofness in its cool acidity and fine-boned tannins, with the structural ribs sticking out a little amidst bittersweet herb notes on the finish. Solid, but this needs time yet. A good 5 to 6 years at least.
