Tim's Birthday 2015 Burgundy Night (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Slow-oxed in bottle for 1 hour before drinking over 2 hours. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of sweet baking spices, soy sauce, dark red cherries. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol, gum-drying medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet baking spices, savoury soy sauce, sweet dark red cherries. Long finish. Very good quality. Just entering drinking window. Could still develop over the next 5+ years. From Echezeaux du Dessus.

Burg Grand Cru night at Bishan.
TCA cork taint. Unfortunate.
