Mid- garnet to bricking red edge. Lots of ripe fruit aromas (classic warm vintage 2003) with baked morello cherries, cherry paste, red plum and light melba toast. Surprisingly bright and fruity though at 17 years-impressed! Super succulent on the palate- tempered with vibrant acidity, gentle red plum skin tannins and a long, languorous finish. This is a suave and sophisticated wine packed with flavour: sous Bois, candied cherries/maraschino cherries, rose petals and fresh species. Expressive, well-balanced fruit sweetness with bright acidity underpinned with flesh and wonderful depth. Classy, beguiling wine.

2003 Burgundy Dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Delicious. This had a beautiful nose, very Liger-Belair in style, with sweet curls of blueberries and violets and fragrant spice patted down with a bit of earth. The palate was nice and round, with a juicy fleshiness and sap that belies the vintage. Here, flavours of blueberries and darker cherries blended nicely with a little twist of bramble and spice - really yummy. At the finish, a nice burst of juicy citrus lifted the wine nicely. Yum.

An off bottle, this one showed some varnish on the nose. NR

Popped and poured at room temperature. Still on good form, this is just easy to drink and a crowd pleaser given the fruit profile. Wish I had more. A-
