Thursday, June 7, 2012 - Judgment of Singapore: Part 2 - Riesling and Cabernet (Ubin Seafood, Sin Ming Indistrial Estate): This was another wine that was slightly off its peak, but it was very good nonetheless. We had another really nice nose here showing lots of sous bois character, with notes of wilted flowers and wet leaves, mossy earth and savoury meaty aromas, along with little drifts of tobacco, cigar and cassis fruit. Undoubtedly Bordeaux, as was the delicious palate. Here, there was still lots of juicy acidity swirling around wonderfully pure flavours of cassis and blueberries. It was perhaps just a bit hollow on midpalate, maybe not quite as strong as you would expect from a 1982 Margaux classed growth, but it was so silky and resolved and integrated that it remained such a delight to drink. I really enjoyed this. It may have been better a few years back, but it was certainly still very yummy on the night. Group #3 of 10.
