  Funky nose, wet socks, barnyard, stewed plums. Some sour cherries, stewed plums, and strawberries. Tannins are firm on the front, but gets a little thin on the finish

  K & J's Wedding Dinner (Intercontinental Hotel, Singapore): Pretty good. Given the vintage and the terroir, I was afraid that this may have been a hard, rather tannic brute when poured, hence I kept nagging poor AH to open the bottle early on in the dinner. I must say it was surprisingly drinkable though. The nose opened with a good dose of Burg funk - I got wet forest floor, loamy earth, wilting flowers, along with more tertiary aromas of mushrooms, stewed tea and dark fruit. Old-school Pommard bouquet - not for everyone maybe, but I kinda liked it. The palate was decent. It had a touch of the hardness of the vintage still, with firm tannins in the background, a bit of woodiness, but also a nice ring of clarity in its dark cherry flavours. Good, fresh acidity carried the wine into a decent finish, where another touch of woodiness lingered alongside some dried red fruit tones. It eventually opened up rather nicely with time to show more clear, clean red fruit notes dosed with earthy tones. Not great, but pretty nice.
