  May 28, 2008 - Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore, Potel Tasting. (Harbour Grill, Hilton Hotel, Singapore): Darker than the 2006 that we tasted together, both in colour and fruit. Rather thick and jammy nose, but nicely aromatic and perfumed, with a bit of licorice and just that smallest bit of savoury mushroom. Very nice palate, almost fruitcake like, reminscent of dried cherries and strawberries with hints of spice, but very clean and cool, with cola and mint showing up after time. Clear influence of sweet oak, but I found it rather well integrated. Also noticeable 2004 acid structure (which is a good thing in this instancem, where there is good concentrated fruit). A completely different animal from the 2006, and really nice. Hard to choose between them.
