Wednesday, January 8, 2020 - 2014 Burgundy Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Delicious - this was very nice indeed, and drinking well even at its young age. It had a great nose - earth, meat and sous bois drifting around plush aromas of dark cherry fruit, maybe some sour plum, all these seasoned with lots of fragrant Vosne spice. A lush, voluptuous and inviting bouquet. It was surprisingly open and advanced on the palate as well - with dark cherries, plums and menthol notes wrapped in a cloak of still firm, chewy tannins and really nice acidity. The finish had a charming flush of dusty earthiness to it, along with a lilt of florals and, again, lot and lots of warm spicy notes. Delicious stuff that spoke of its terroir eloquently - this was such a nice one. While drinking nicely in its youth it certainly has the chops to age effortlessly as well.
