Friday, August 20, 2010 - Simple Series VII: B.A.G (Burg, Alsace, German) - JT's farewell (Asia Grand, Odeon Towers): This was actually a pretty nice 2003! I thought the nose was quite telltale, with typical 2003 burnt toastiness and hints of rubber to go along with nice red fruit tones, some dried earth scents, a little vanilla and a sprig of herbs. The palate got me a bit confused though. It had really nice, fresh acidity running alongside more red cherry and raspberry notes, and a plush, smooth elegance to it. Some spicey inflections and a meaty, slightly animale character in the background made this wine a lovely pairing with black-pepper beef. It was only towards the finish, where some extra richness and a little bit of glycerol suggested 2003 again. Still though, there was decent length, with sprinkles of wood spice closing the wine out. All in all, a really nice wine I thought - this certainly gave a lot of pleasure.
