Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Lightly corked unfortunately. The nose had a touch of cardboard and dusty swirling around otherwise pretty notes of dark cherries, earth and spice. The palate was still absolutely lovely though, with savoury kisses of earth and meat underpinning clean, fresh flavours of dark cherries and berries and just that bit of spice swirling into a beguilingly long, complex finish. Absolutely wonderful to drink even now, but I hesitate to score this because of that hint of TCA hanging around.

Unfortunately mildly corked. Underlying dark fruits and balance is there, but finish clipped...too bad!
