Monday, September 16, 2019 - TNs: Female Burgundy Winemakers Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): This was smashing - really surprisingly good for a 2003. I really liked the nose on this, with its deep aromas of dark cherries couched in more savoury tones of earth and meat, and then lovely drifts of Vosne spice. Very nice. The palate was very expressive - rich, ripe and delicious, it unfolded in the mouth with wafts of dark cherries, berries and plums, riding on a savoury underlayer of earth and spice. Very nice. There was maybe a hint of Anne Gros' usual elegance here, but this was certainly less graceful of a wine than say the 2007 that preceded it, lacking some of the filigreed finesse of the earlier wine. Still though, this was delicious, and really impressively balanced for a 2003. Nice long finish too, with sweet, dark cherries patted down with a touch of earth. A lovely wine, drinking fairly well now, but still with some room for improvement.
