Friday, August 20, 2010 - 2010 Simple Wine Dinner Series No.7 - JT Farewell (Asia Grand @ Odeon Tower): Alcohol : 13.5%
Tasted Blind. Deep dark ruby with slight watery purplish rim. This too very aromatic in profile, broad with dark Pinot fruits that wrap by a hint of rustiness. Very high acidity that overpower the underlying sweetness which make this wine hard to approach now but also contribute a good freshness to the wine. The smoky spices and touch of soy sauce flavor added more depth and complex that finish long and quite acidic finish. Need time. Paul and I gave this a bet for a 2003 while others hard to believe this is a 2003 for its powerful acidity (acidify?) and seriously I can't pin point if this is CDV or FE, but Paul get both the Vintage and village right, great one :) This clearly show that the 2003 can be very lively with great freshness and not being overripe, alcoholic and new worldish. Buy - No.
