Pop and pour - tight and reserved at first, resolved tannins, texture consistent with age. The quality is undeniable. Some dark cherry tart notes but not bright.
At the 2.5-3 hour mark - WOW; leaped out of the glass with fine velvety texture and almost a dark chocolate note mixed with the terroir that is Vosne.
I’ll be chasing this bottle of wine for years.

I love 2006 red, not all but they are some of the best red wine out there when they are on form, such as this bottle. Medium vibrant ruby red. Focus and precise, doesn't has the expansiveness of CLB but equally lifted and perhaps deeper. Loaded with plum, blueberry and alluring cool spiciness and florals. Symmetry on the palate, the depth and flavours intensity is incredible yet weightless, with lots of cool fruits notes, amazing refreshing acidity, minerality and silky tannin. Another ZEN like wine. Impressive length.

Top 1er Cru Burg by Benchmark Producers (Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisne @ Tanjong Pagar Center): Opened at 130pm, tried and oh, what a lovely wine right from PnP. Decided to leave the bottle as it is without putting the cork back.
Serving at around 845pm.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Late night, small glass, brief note. Lots and lots of brooding black fruit aromas with very rich Vosne spice. Similarly rich, powerful and backward palate. Very good potential, just not yet.

La Paulée de SF Gala Dinner (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Wound up rather tight and not as generous as the 00/03 Meo Richebourg tasted earlier in the evening. Good density and structure.
