Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 16, 2019 - TNs: Female Burgundy Winemakers Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Superb - this was quite unanimously voted the wine of the night amidst a strong line-up. It had beautifully rich nose to start, with layers of black cherry, plums and cherry liquor, a drift of violets, and then lovely, deep draws of earthy sous bois and stony mineral. A really multifaceted bouquet, but somehow while rich, deep and compelling, it was never showy - just quietly drawing you in. The palate then just carried on where the nose left off. It was still a tight I thought, but boy was it lovely - powerful, full, deep, with dark cherries and plums, mineral and spice, all playing against a savoury, earthy, meaty backdrop. Great long finish too, with velvety tannins nicely integrated with an almost profound depth of fruit and mineral, earth and spice. A full, complex, and very complete wine. Superb stuff, which will only get better over the next 6-8 years and beyond.
