Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 12, 2018 - NDG 2002 Clos de Vougeot Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): A serious wine, with some quality in there; but also seriously backwards, and needing many years yet. The nose was tight, but pleasant enough, with little wafts of wood spice and dark fruit drifting nicely out of the glass. The palate had a nice clarity and presence to it too, with nicely transparent notes of dark cherry infused with a real mouthful of peppery spice towards the finish. Unfortunately, much of this was diffused under a layer of firm, chewy tannins which made it feel a bit stubborn - especially at the finish where it shut down a bit. Very serious in tone. Quality was there, but this needs 6-8 years yet at least before broaching again.
