  Grands-Echézeaux Dinner (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): This needed a bit of air to get going, but this was pretty nice when it did. A different animal from the more modernly styled George Noellat and Jean-Marc Millots on the same flight, but no less pleasing for that. It had a lovely nose, full of earth, meat and spice, and a touch of mature Burg funk, all dancing around a core of dark cherries and perfumed violets, with a just a touch of woodiness in there as well. The palate was perhaps slightly skinnier than expected after that nose, with notes of black cherries and berries, wood and warm spice spreading out towards a nicely lengthy finish. Old-school, but not lacking charm of finesse - this was clearly blessed by the friendly tannins and bright acidity of the 2007 vintage. Just a bit lean over the midpalate and into the finish for a Grand Echezeaux maybe, but a very good wine nonetheless. Drinking well now with a bit of air, but it should age pretty well over the next few years.

  Importer tasting (@ PA): A little barnyard and earthy impressions in the bouquet. Spices like clove and red fruits as well. Same on the palate. Beautiful toasted oak and full bodied. Very long finish. A great and complex wine.
