Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 12, 2018 - NDG 2002 Clos de Vougeot Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): Pretty good. Like the Perrot-Minot that preceded it, this also showed quite a bit of extraction and oak influence, but I thought it wore it better than the first wine. The nose showed a bit of toast and spice, more of that overt oaky vanillin character, then some meat, earth, and a touch of green cherries and something a bit vegetal at the sides. Decent enough. The palate was rather more controlled than the Perrot-Minot for sure, showing red fruit laced with wood spice and a bit of earthiness. There was a nicely balanced feel to it, with a good clarity and litheness to it in spite of the obvious oak and extraction - I enjoyed the wine. Drinking well now.
