Community Tasting Note

ilee Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 26, 2013 - Dinner with Mrs L, HY and Jeremy (The Fat Cow, Singapore): Handing me a glass of this, all Jeremy would say was 1990 burgundy. Medium ruby in color, it had an intoxicating bouquet that was all about red fruit -- ripe raspberry, dried cranberry -- with subtle mineral notes in the background. On the palate, there was a rich and laden core but it was tight and unyielding at first, like a coiled velvet spring. In the course of the next 30-40 minutes the polished, elegant layers gradually unfolded. The finish was so fine-grained and exquisite it was like a faint shot of raspberry dust up the nose. In retrospect there were a few giveaway DRC traits, as I think nobody does "fine" in quite the same way this estate does it. As this wine matures over the next 10 years, perhaps 1-2 more points on the enjoyment scale? Already very enjoyable though. (And no I couldn't guess it...)
