Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 13, 2008 - Dinner at Edmund and Shuming's (The Cornwall, Singapore): Second time I have had this bottle. Poured straight out from the bottle, this was far, far better than the last bottle that I had. Red core with slightly garnet rim. Nose showed lots of dusky cherries, dried earth and some savoury leather and game tones. With a bit of air, some deeply inviting forest floor aromas emerged. Really lovely. More of the same on the palate - dusky cherries, with good intensity and concentration and just that little touch of game. Good enough acid, nice and round though not tremednously fresh, and slightly powdered tannins gave the wine a nice sense of structure and balance. Excellent really, save for the rather short and abrupt finish. So differently built from the previous bottle, making me suspect that the earlier version may have aged rather prematurely.
