Wednesday, September 22, 2021 - Dinner with Sean (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Again impressive, but this needs some time still. It did have a lovely nose, especially with a little bit of time in the decanter, showing entracing aromas of spice and herb, earth and meat, along with sweet blushes of red cherries and darker berries, all shaded by just a hint of wood spice. Lovely stuff. The palate was fresh, lively and very juicy, with dark cherries and berries, spice and earth, all unfolding in a full, generous mouthful. This had showed the best qualities of the 2010 vintage - bright acid; full powerful fruit; lots of transprent purity - yet it still felt way too young, with the structural elements standing out a buit, and the wine threteaning to close up at times, especially towards the finish, which started out super long and nicely spiced, but later clenched up quite a bit. Still though, a great little expression of the terroir, which will get better in 5-10 years.
