Big and Bold Dinner @Shelter In the Woods (Greenwood Ave Singapore): Fully mature and in a great spot this had a subtle elegant nose of blackcurrant and cherries and a lovely palate of fruit leather smoke chocolate and licorice. Amazing finish with secondary development of spices and pepper tickling away. The tannins present but in a good way as with all old CdP. Lovely

1999 Chateauneuf Horizontal; 4/18/2009-4/19/2009: Sleeper wine of the evening. Nose was originally rather dumb, but progressively came out over the evening. Nose of semi-sweet strawberr, blueberry, white pepper, garrigue, and a touch of buttermilk like tartness. Nose was marked by a freshness and lift missing in many other of these wines this evening. Palate mirrors the nose, showing strong but well-placed acidity, and plenty of tannins remaining on the finish. I would like to have some of this in my cellar.
