Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 18, 2018 - Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Delicious, but this felt a bit different from the other Ruchottes in the line-up - somehow sweeter, bigger, more obvious; still yummy in its own way though. The nose was a fragrant melange of sweet red cherries, earth, spice, rubber and a drift of florals. Very attractive. Great palate too - surprisingly really fresh and lively for the vintage, with bright acidity and the finest tannins caressing lovely flavours of red cherries, mineral and spice. While somehow lacking the effortless authority that the best bottles of the night showed, this was nevertheless a lovely, tingly and energetic drop, with a beautiful spine of fine structure leading into a an effortlessly elegant finish - a demonstration of coolness of the terroir beautifully married to the fleshy voluptuousness of the vintage. Still in its adolescence at this stage, it should continue to age fairly well over the next 5-6 years and beyond.
