2014 Burgundy Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A really nice NSG 1er Cru. This had an attractive nose, with fragrant wafts of dark cherries and a lilt of florals floating alongside some savoury notes of earth and meat, and then a little hint of spice. Very nice. The palate was still marked by some fine but tight tannins, but also showed a really nice clarity and balance, with a good sense of acidity enlivening a whole mouthful of wood spice - this drifting in and around a depth of dark cherries, and then into a chewy, meaty midpalate. It had a nice, full finish as well, with a little bit of bittersweet bramble and mineral. This lacked a touch of midpalate weight and intensity, which prevented it from pushing on to greatness, but this was a very accomplished 1er Cru indeed. Just beginning to shut down maybe, but this has great bones and should age effortlessly for decades.

Pretty. Better a few days after the first Coravin pours.

Pleasant but a bit on the lighter side, does gain a little weight on night two.
