Like the 99 Ponsot CDLR, it was earthy with fading fruit. Over the peak and nothing like what the great 99 vintage should have suggested. Well this is post-93 Ponsot.

Dinner at Summer Pavilion (Summer Pavilion, Ritz Carlton, Singapore): Decent. Nothing special, nothing especially bad. Just about decent. A bit dissapointing for a Ponsot 1er Cru I must say. It had a pretty good nose of powdered herbs, red cherries, roots and bramble, along with a good but of fragrant spice. The palate was very ho-hum though, with simple but uninspiring flavours of sour plum and sour cherry, with a touch of orange acidity that all faded towards the finish. Balance was okay, structure was okay, but the wine just felt a touch pedestrian and rather boring for all that. It may be going through a dumb phase, as Ponsot wines sometimes do - I am just not sure it will ever get out of it.

I'm in agreement with others. Bought as part of a mixed case of "99 Burgundies. Nothing wrong with it but nothing to write home about either.
