Saturday, November 27, 2021 - Grange Vertical with Peter Gago (Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore): A baby in the bottle - clearly some quality year, but very young indeed. The nose was pretty, but almost infantile, almost like a wine still in barrel, with slighty candied, bubblegummy smells of crushed blueberries, plums and creme de cassis, along with some violets and a little burst of peppery spice. Attractive enough, but so primary. The palate had that same primary feel too. It was very finely structure with firm but well-shaped tannins and well-integrated acidity, but this was wrapped around a core of round, plump flavours of blueberries and blackberries, maybe a touch of plums, all drinking in a very fruity, forward fashion. The finish was still a little tight as would be expected, petering out with a hint of spice. This should age nicely over the next couple of decades, but the way it is drinking now, it will probably be one of the earlier drinking Granges. All in all, a pretty good wine without quite blowing my socks off.
